[1] Perhaps a gauche question, but:

[2] Why do I appear to have your power?

[3] It took me a bit to place it, but I distinctly remember the feel of it from when you donated back in my student days. Specifically, the constant feeling the universe was either trying to communicate something to me or just slightly off-centre.

[4] And on that subject: Does this have anything to do with Kyle's sudden and inexplicable ability to speak French?

(1) I don't think it's just you. Between you, Nica, Jono, and Catseye...
(2) Somehow my power is gotten broadcast AOE style?
(3) How the hell does one rigorously test this.
(4) To answer the question you are too polite to ask, I did not accidentally bleed on you or anything like that.

[1] My eternal thanks for sparing me the embarrassment of asking if you'd noticed any unexplained hickeys on your person recently. That is always so awkward.

[2] It is within my ability to absorb the effect of passively expressed mutations, but that would hardly explain the rest of the mansion.

[3] An evolution of your powers, perhaps?
