The  Professor seemed  more  thoughtful  about  the
            situation.   He was a very serious scientist himself and
            although, at first he agreed that scientifically speaking
            there  probably just  wasn’t  going  to  be  a  second
            explosion, he remained curious.
                After they left, I reiterated to the Professor that
            being a scientist myself I knew what he was saying.

                “But,” I said, “I saw it with my own eyes.   I don’t
            know  how  it could be possible,  but  he calmed that
            chemical reaction. “I swear his voice seemed to pierce
            the sound barrier and the confusion hovering over the
            area. It felt like his powerful voice met the rumblings of
            the chemicals that seemed ready to explode; and
            somehow,  they responded to his fierce call,  the
            rumbling sounds started to  subside  then they went
            silent.  There  was  a  feeling  in  the  air  that  I’ve  never

            experienced before.”
                I felt that the Professor was able to feel my sincere
            confusion  over  the  events  that  had  occurred  and  my
            deep yearning to make sense of it all.  He knew I had a
            rational scientific grasp of reality and  my world had
            been severely shaken.   As he slowly walked away I
            could see that he himself was in deep contemplation.

                Later in the evening, I sat with Aroha on my bed
            discussing again the events of the day.   I asked her
            about Tu’s tattooed face.
                                                                          47
