Darkness.

Sadness.

Cold.

White.

Light.

Happiness.

Warm.

Lady: *in a playing voice* Run, Kuro, or the monster will catch you...

Darkness.

We see the cloth being lifted off of a table as a lady grabs a little boy, and starts to tickle him.

Lady: Found you, who's my good little boy? You are!

DARKNESS...

We now hear the voice of what could be assumed as the voice of a little boy.

Boy: *scared* Run, Kuro, or... or the monster will catch you! 

SPLASH!

The boy runs through a puddle of water, as the water splashes on his pants, giving them a dark hue.

Boy: Run, Kuro! Or the monster will catch you like it caught mom and dad!

The boy keeps running till he collides with someone as the boy falls on the ground. The person whom he collided with, turns around and looks at the boy. He had a huge, muscular body, which was being shadowed by the sun and some sort of extensions on his head.

???: Are you alright, young man?

He extends an arm towards the boy, but the boy smacks it away in fear.

???: Hey, it's okay, nobody's gonna hurt you.

The man takes another step, but is kicked in the head by an old man, who was wearing some sort of black eye mask and a monochrome suit, with huge yellow boots and gloves.

Old Man: You're scaring him even more, idiot.

???: Oh, sorry, Gran Torino.

The man sighs as he slowly starts walking towards the boy.

???: Hey kid... Where are your parents? Are you lost?

The man's face is shown as the  boy realizes that these people were heroes.

Boy: *scared* Mom... Dad... Villain...

The man gains a serious look on his face.

Torino: Let's go, Toshinori.

The huge man, now known as Toshinori grabs the boy in his arms and the two dash to where the boy was pointing... 

Only to find nothing there. No bodies. No signs of any violance. Nothing.

Boy: Right there...! H-He killed Mom... and Dad... He... He...

Toshinori softly pats the boy on his head as the two go to the nearest police station. Once the two reach there with the boy in Torino's arms, a man steps out.

???2: All Might? Gran Torino? What's wrong?

Toshinori: Tsukauchi. Nice to see you. This young man seems to be lost.

He points at the boy, who was clutching onto Toshinori's arm like his life depended on it.

Tsukauchi: Hey kid... What's your name?

Kuro: K... Kuromaru... 

Tsukauchi: Ah, that's a wonderful name. Let's help you find your mom and dad, kay?

Kuro: N-No... Mom... and Dad... They're gone... They... they're gone...

Tsukauchi looks at the boy in surprise. His quirk allowed him to be a living lie detector. And right now? The boy was doing everything, but lying.

Tsukauchi looks at the two men and shakes his head in a "no" manner as the three enter a room.

---

Tsukauchi exits a room as Toshinori and Gran Torino stand up.

Tsukauchi: He lived with his parents, yes. But there's no evidence or anything suggesting if it was a murder, or an accident.

Torino: So, you're saying we have to give him to an orphanage?

Toshinori: Wait a sec, Gran Torino! If it was the work of a villain, who knows if they might target the orphanage next?

Torino: That's a possibility too... The what shall we do...?

Toshinori looks at the boy, who was now asleep in his arms, still clutching onto his finger as a voice echoes in his head. The voice of his mentor, Nana Shimura, to be precise.

Nana: When you have to save someone, that means that the person went through something scary. So true heroes not only save lives, they save hearts too. That's what I think. No matter how scared you are, you should smile to show you're okay. Because in this world, the ones who are smiling are the strongest.

Toshinori smiles at the boy as he comes to a conclusion.

Toshinori: I'll adopt him.

Torino/Tsukauchi: Eh?

Toshinori: If he's with me, safety would be the last thing we'd have to worry for him.

Torino: Oi, you do realize that if you do this and HE comes to know of this boy's existence, he WILL use the boy against you, right?

Toshinori: Then we won't make it public. And even if All for One comes to know about him, I will protect him with my life.

He looks at Tsukauchi.

Toshinori: You have the required documents for adoption, right?

Tsukauchi: Umm... I-I guess.. yeah. But... are you sure about this?

Toshinori: *smiling* Yeah. And Gran Torino?

The old man looks up at Toshinori.

Toshinori: He has a name. It's Kuromaru Yagi.

Torino sighs as he rubs his temples.

Torino: You're really fixated on this, huh?

Toshinori: Yeah.

LIGHT...

HAPPINESS...

WARMTH...
