[the little things matter quite a lot, Callaghan has learned. the white lies that are told to keep you sane, at least until you can confront the truth...he follows obediently, silent for a while, because really, what is there to say?

I have two more questions. [a pause to ensure that he's got Hiro's attention, and then-] Am I still 'Yokai'?
[this is hardly the outfit people are used to associating with that name, and there's hardly any sort of identity to protect - everyone knows that Yokai was once a respected Professor, at least if they bothered to do any sort of digging. but at the same time, the entire persona...it's been crafted to incite the sort of fear that a respected Professor never could.
people see the mask, and they run; you run from the Yokai, and you don't get hurt.
