Since the incident, Fawkes childhood had been filled with people giving his hand strange looks for the parasite within it, giving it its distinct blue glow. He began wearing a glove to hide it as a teen; people sometimes questioned the gloves, but he laughed it off. That glow became a curse for him; he knew it gave him power, but the sight of it drove everyone off, and he became ashamed of it. When he met you, things began to change. He wanted you to feel him and love all of him. His mom noticed and asked why he hadn't been wearing it recently. He smiles before telling her, "I want her to feel skin, feel me when I touch her. I can't do that if I'm wearing a glove." He smiles at the thought.
