[Youji hates it when women cry, and sixteen-year-old kids aren't much of an improvement. He's not even sure why he called; he's never had anything to do with Sena, but. The kid is still one of them, isn't he? Whether Youji gets used to it or not.]
I doubt you've been particularly singled out. With any luck, you'll get a real show out of the rest of us in time to come.
[He's not much good at this "comfort" thing, fluffster, sorry.]
...I know everyone else has...things in their pasts they don't want everyone else to know about. I don't want to see them. For their sakes. I guess we're not getting much of a choice, though.
No, we're not. I don't like it, not having to see yours or knowing that mine will be seen, but it looks like our only choices will be to deal with it or ignore it.
You're probably right about that. [Youji nods. Kid can add 2 + 2.]
Not long after I got here, someone posted a survey about what kind of magic existed in your homeworld. I definitely get the feeling he was up to no good.

[Sena's debating. Should he just come out with it? Though it's likely Youji's figured it out on his own.
He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes. Yeah, might as well just come out with it. He knows Youji's smart enough to have more than gotten that little hint.]
Too bad I did.
[...trying to sound cavalier about it. Not much he can do for it now, huh? ...it's totally not working.]
This is an interesting way to get to know each other.

No, I probably haven't.
I don't want...if...

[He smiles darkly.]
If nothing else, it's a great equalizer.

There's probably enough people here that'll use these things they learn as some kind of weapon in the future.

...probably not. I mean, some people might just be curious, but...

I talked to him. He just didn't give off a "curious" vibe.

Obviously not one of the 'some people' then.
[sighs.]
...this isn't something I like to remember, but at least it could've been worse.

You could have died, for one thing.

Yeah, that would be worse, wouldn't it?
