“It’s just a scratch….it’s fine.” Ken waved his black eye off, as if he didn’t wasn’t just fighting a kaiju that was attacking the city a few minutes before he came over to your apartment. “I just- missed a ball I was trying to catch.”

Ken wanted to tell you he was Ultraman, he really did. But if someone found out, they could use you against him. That’s why he always used his baseball career as an excuse, he hated lying to you.

But you were his only friend, he couldn’t lose you too.
