"Mom? Where are we?" you asked a white haired lady who appeared to be your mother.

"Were at the Hospital honey..." She said while patting your head as she smiles.

Her smile..

It felt warmth.

Time passed and the doctors examined and asked you a few questions.

"There.. There seems to have a problem.. She's not fine. What are you saying it's normal? This is absurd." Your mother said to the doctors while she shuffled to the test results.

"Well, ma'am, her ability is a new generation one.. where the ability fully ties with the user. The abilities that given to us fully develop in her body. In the future it'll be easy to separate ability to it's user as the ability might evolve to a parasite or a new entire being." The doctor said as they pulled a folder from their desk.

Your mother looked into the doctor with awe.

Her hopeless glimpse almost made you sad for her.

But of course you didn't understand what's happening you were just 7 that time.

"The ability might affect her but it was only be triggered when she uses it often." The doctor continued.

"The effects are what we call 'Brain Fog' where you feel confused or disorganized or find it hard to focus or put your thoughts into words, hearing loss, memory loss and dizziness. When it gets really serious it may cause autoimmune disorder." The doctor said and sighed.

"Brain fog, hearing loss, memory loss, autoimmune disorder... I- is there any way to stop these?" Your mother asked with a loose hope in her eyes.

The doctor shaked they're head in response.

"It's normal evolution. We can't do anything." The doctor said as your mother was looking at you with teary eyes.

Stupid evolution.

"Come on, Dazai, lets go to work already" Kunikida-san said while aggressively tapping his index finger on the table.

The three of you were done eating and just waiting for Atsushi-kun who is still savoring his 30th bowl of Chazuke.

You paid your attention to Kunikida-san whose still lecturing Dazai cause he had his fail suicide attempt.

He was still going on but you didn't really tried to understand his lectures since its really boring.

It'll be nice if he talked as gentle as he would before.

"Ngmgumgngaimg?"Atsushi-kun said as he eats his 31st bowl of chazuke.

What did he say?

"Shut up." Kunikida-san said while he closed his ideal notebook.

"There's no 'Treat a brat with Chazuke with my money' written on my planned expenses page, either!" Kunikida-san continued with annoyance on his tone.
