Rich isn't sure if he wants pity from these strangers, but he doesn't lash out any more than he could, just huffing under his breath. "It's difficult for all of us. You don't gotta treat me like a special case. I'm not even the only person without powers."

He considers the question, but he supposes there's no point in hesitating. "Not much was the same. They gave me a different excuse for the scars and a different family... I had a friend there, I guess? Someone I recognized from home, but he was different too, and he didn't come with us when we got back on the train." He sighs heavily. "If I was to guess, it was giving us all a life we wanted to have."
