Runic Howler

Liz shook Keng as Ritsuka, Olivia and Evan watched their friend sob. Liz continued to ask Keng the same questions. "Why couldn't he heal her? What's wrong with Manny?" Keng studied Manny as he coughed blood. There was something obviously different, but he didn't understand what triggered it. 

'I couldn't have done this, right?' Keng thought. 'Lee Seng's Mutation ability couldn't work with me. We're two different people, right…? If that's the assumption, why is Manny showing signs of a breakthrough?'

It was the whole reason why they were all told to put their hands onto a plasma ball. They graded someone's potential and showed each individual what they could become with dedication and practice.
