I Am (Not) A Newtype
[All this talk about Newtypes and on top of it Cyber Newtypes is making Flit think back to what he'd talked about with Garrod. And more importantly a brief conversation about it with Captain Grodek...]
I just don't know, but... I've had mental reactions to things before. Like with Eva and occasionally when I fight, my body doing something before my brain can actually process what it is that I need to do.
I mean, that's what being a Newtype entails, doesn't it? Except Tiffa's never acted like she's sensed something from me, or vice-versa.
There are certain traits a Newtype usually can exhibit, yes, but the term is not a catch-all for individuals with psychic powers. Newtypes are in fact one of the more recent strains of espers. However, there existed in the past a classification that -at a cursory glance- Newtypes are greatly reminiscent of...
Borderline-precognition during battle, increased spatial awareness, and the ability to sense others like them... these were abilities exhibited by individuals able to tap into a region of the brain known as the "X-Region". In much of humanity the region is entirely vestigial, but in a select few it is only dormant. I know that some are attempting to research and learn what they can of the X-Region, though it is difficult since occurances of it are random and rare, not even being hereditary.
People who can tap into the X-Region's power are known as X-Rounders.
[Cut to the present. Flit is pouring over not information from the AGE System, but instead a folder with sparse and in many cases old documents. It's everything he can find out about X-Rounders. Not much, but one study reported the trend that upon exposure to an active X-Rounder, dormant ones would begin to awaken too.]
But if that's true... does that mean that Yurin and Desil were X-Rounders?

... I wonder if there's any specific distinction for whatever classification Eva would have.

...I wonder would she let UG scientists study her powers further.

More importantly...you have been bestowed with an incredible gift.

I guess that's all the more reason to not just sit back and let other people do the fighting then, right?
no subject
Truth be told...I am...envious. Even I possess no such foresight.

I know you are right...however, even in those situations, I was fortunate...
And...there is one special reason for what I said...

[Flashback to her stubbing her toe, tripping over and falling flat on her face, getting tricked by a phone scammer, scalding herself with boiling water and last, but not least - crying after accidentally dropping coins into a covered drain pipe. All in a single day.]

That is...if there is any feeling associated with it...

It felt like a kind of pressure pushing down on me. And my body would just react in whatever way I needed it to... like when I was able to protect Asagi from a Noise before I'd even been able to properly process what I needed to do.

...If it is at all possible, this is something you should seek to improve upon.

If I really am an X-Rounder, I'm going to need that power in order to shore up the AGE System's delays in developing new tech.
