(Not an Epilogue, just a time skip)

*In case you forgot, Fujimoto is who Poltergeist was before Terugo killed, revived, and mutated him
*A Motorcycle Brand
*God of Protection

'Hah.' Terugo smiled, pleasure running through his veins. Holding a small Bush Warbler, one he has just killed. 'It's so pretty.'

Sixteen. He was sixteen. 'Terugo! Stop this!' *Fujimoto yelled, slapping the bird from his hand. He sighed, something told him this child would never change.

'But Hiro~ Hrio~ You said I couldn't keep it. What was I supposed to do?'

'Let it fly away. Come on you have to get to school. I swear I'll tell your par-'

'They are not my parents.' He chuckled. 'They adopted me sure, but I don't care at all.' He said. 'So say what you want,' he stood on the picket fence. 'I won't listen.'

It's been a few months, Kai got a job at a local bar, and Hari at a Tattoo place. The precepts visited occasionally with the warden's permission. Fat and Amira are a thing and she and Rock Lock are officially divorced. Niki, Eri, and Yukia hang out a lot with Scoots. Kai also got a *Yamaha, so that was cool.

It was May now and Kai's birthday was right around the corner. He wasn't all that enthusiastic about it since the only person who knew his birthday at all now was Kurono. But he didn't care, for the first time in 17 almost 18 years, he was safe. He was really, truly safe. His father couldn't use his quirk anymore. He was safe. Eri was safe.

'Hey, Kai!' Fatgum said, 'Welcome home!' He smiled.

'Hey.' He said, slightly tired.

'Work tiring today Papa?' Eri asked.

'Yeah, almost wish I could drink there myself but that's taken out of my paycheck.' He groaned.

Fatgum smiled, 'Do you know when Hari's coming home?'

'Somewhere around three, I think.' Kai answered, taking off the apron he wore as uniform. 'What's for dinner?'

'I was thinking of making Yakisoba, Udon, and maybe some Wagashi for desert. Sound good?'

'Sounds great.' Kai agreed. 'I'm gonna go change, this uniform is kinda stuffy.' He said.

'Alright, cya.'

'See you when you come back down!' Eri's voice was cheerful as usual. It seems she's gotten over her traumas with Kai when he was still under his father's control, especially after hearing his story.

Kai was still struggling with some of his own trauma, but he was definitely getting better. For example, he didn't have to pray to *Penden Lhamo anymore before changing. He used to be terrified of being watched because his father was always watching him.

He sighed, the moment he stepped foot into his room he took off his shirt. And dear god did that feel better already.

Rock Lock growled to himself. For an hour or so he had been staring at something posted three months ago.

Chisaki and Kurono had gotten married.

Who would let them do this? They're villains! Fucking hell, this world was insane.
