I understand all your concerns, Scott, and Elizabeth's too. If you would rather Shinobi stayed away from the school, I'm sure I can arrange some alternative accomodation, but the psi-scan I conducted was not a cursory one. While I'm not suggesting we should all lower our guards, I would like to imagine we have not forgotten how to give people a fair chance to prove themselves since I myself was invited to join this school. He hasn't committed any crime, which is more than can be said for some of our students.

Manuel is as much a victim in what happened in Paris as I am. He is not well, and he will need a great deal of monitoring and telepathic therapy. Since I'm as close as the law will recognise to a specialist in that area, I would like to bring him in under the protection of our school. I confess, I'm not sure how his father is going to feel about that, and there may be ramifications, but I'm not feeling inclined to walk away from a fight right now.
