I couldn't tell you if I was born with it or if it just moved in when I was very young, but I don't remember a time when I didn't have it. [He does remember repeatedly pointing it out to his parents and being told not to tell stories, which is why he can relate to Soma's suggestion of not being the odd one out. Two times over: first for being the only person who could see it, and then when it was still unique even when he found other people who could see the same landscape as he could. So does Natori agree with that sentiment? Absolutely. Does Soma?]
Mm. [He hums noncommittally, more out of politeness than anything else. He once again wonders if Soma is just trying to be empathetic, or if he's actively poking for weak spots. Or just has a strange sense of humor, he amends once the knife comes out.]
I'll pass. It hasn't had any difficulty moving around cuts or bruises, so it seems more likely that you'd just take out a chunk of my skin instead. [And after a moment, he adds] ...Do you not need to clean that off afterwards...?
