I want to apologize for what happened last night.

It wasn't your fault. I didn't want to leave so abruptly.

It's just a strange situation. Most people only have five fingers on each hand.

I'm sure you've noticed that I have six.

I grew up in a time period where genetic mutations like that weren't really understood.

Starting in my mid-20s I lived alone, and then there were extended periods of time where I frequently went years without encountering another human.

I'm not used to receiving attention for them that isn't extremely negative.

So it wasn't something you did wrong. I was just startled.
