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.
