ever since quirks became society's norm, the world has gone through drastic societal changes. those with strong quirks are praised upon receiving them, worshipped by those around them, and society determines that they'll be the best at everything they do... those without a strong quirk, or a quirk that makes them look different, are looked down on and told they'll just be the civilians for heroes to save... but to have no quirk, is a death sentence. nobody will stick up for you, everyone will bully you and beat you down, make you feel like you're nothing but gutter trash. they'll tell you to kill yourself as they ruthlessly beat you within an inch of your life, pray for a quirk in your next life as you lay there in a pool of your own blood.
I learned that hard truth at the ripe age of four, by the hands of my former best friend... and others.
but my mom used to have this old saying, well she had a lot of old sayings, but this one stuck to me like all might stuck to the same one-two combo his whole career..."if the world insists on knocking you over, make your balance better. if the world insists on pushing its weight on your back, strengthen your body. if the world insists on kicking you while you're down, strengthen your heart... and if the world insists on blocking your path, use your balance, body, and heart to forge your own" she said it so much, it's pretty much engraved in my soul.
but that's what I did, I forged my own path.
while trying to make sense of this new strange device on my wrist, the new realm of possibilities that are completely out of this world, and it's responsibilities.
And you know, the sudden warmth in my chest whenever that mocha loving girl is around.
