no pressure if you don't feel like answering this, I am just v curious🤡

Honestly at first he was so startled by all of class one a because they’re so loud and he’s such a quiet person that he really doesn’t know what to do with them. He becomes close with mina first because she understands what it’’s like to feel like one doesn’t belong where they currently are. I headcanon that mina is mixed black american and japanese, growing up in america until middle school when the anti mutant violence got so bad that her mothers moved her back to japan for her own safety.

Atzi who’s been in that same place can understand her in a way most other people can’t and they become really close because of this.
