[ But he seems unperturbed enough by the concept of weird that Kaoru feels comfortable enough just jumping straight in. She briefly stretches out her right arm to remind him of the one tattoo she has permanently, the constellation on her wrist. ] This is the only tattoo I have that doesn't heal. I got it done when I was... 18? 19? I don't remember. But, like... you know how it's really hard for me to get drunk? And how I never get sick? It's all part of the same thing.

If I get hurt, it heals somehow. Not like you would heal, though. Faster. When I was 24, I broke my arm when I fell off a stage in a bar, and by the time I got to emergency and got x-rays, it had fixed itself. [ She shrugs. ] I'm not sure how, or why. But ever since then, my piercings and tattoos grow out too, except the ones I had before.
