“Weird” has been the Petrov family’s bread and butter for generations, so Maks thought that he had a good handle on what was and wasn’t generally accepted as “normal”. He assumed that attending Maillardet’s Academy would mean (finally) making friends who would embrace his unique abilities. Mostly, he finds that everyone’s got their own definition for “freak”.
This was really cute. I can't wait to see how much June, Ernest, and Maks' relationship develops. It was interesting getting to see more of what Maks' life is like pre- and post superhero school enrollment.
