[A sigh.] Apparently it was part of this whole...thing.
The night of the event, Hiro had built these things called nanobots. Like they sound, they're tiny machines that can't do much on their own, but can do pretty amazing things when you get a few thousand of them. And all the nanobots were connected by this band you where on your head, so they respond to your thoughts.
[Even now, talking about the nanobots, he couldn't help still feeling insanely proud of his brother.]
He'd built them to show what he can do, so that Callaghan would accept him into the school. And he did...but Callaghan wanted to use Hiro's nanobots for...something else.
So he started the fire...grabbed the controlling device, and used the nanobots to escape free from harm, while faking his own death.
