[ He's glad Hiro immediately understands. And he sends a picture immediately, too, because he already had one available.
After their experiment had turned out to be a failure, Yu had put the leftover slivers of his mask in a pouch and brought them home, then hadn't thought much more of it. The next day he'd had a lot on his mind - Katsura, Minato, why his theory with the mask had been wrong - and he hadn't thought to check the pouch again even as he'd put it in his bag to bring with him to school.
Of course, then a lot of other things had happened, and he'd ended up being rather distracted from his classes.
It wasn't until that evening that he'd even opened his school bag again. That's when he'd noticed it. The pouch had been shredded, the seams ripped. The mask had, without his seeing it happen, rebuilt itself in perfect condition. Except for one thing.
In the picture of it that he shows Hiro, it's sitting on the desk in his room, free of the tatters of the pouch which he had to cut away. Running down the middle of the mask is one long, single, hairline crack.

When he'd first seen it, it had chilled him. ]
