(Starting in Izuku's POV, just so you know)

They hurt me. I escaped. Why do I feel guilty?

First was mom. Then it was that guy. They hurt me. I did the only logical thing and left.

Mom told me that she loved me. She said she wouldn't leave. She said it herself, did she not? I remember it clearly.

"Izuku, the whole quirk thing doesn't matter! I love you for you! I'm staying with you till the end, and you'll always be a hero in my heart!" She said it. She would stay. So why didn't she? She wanted to throw me away. I left instead. I didn't want to be given like an item.

The man. He found me anyway. It was horrifying. I'm so glad I got away.

But why do I feel guilty?

I heard a weird voice. It was scary. It's not my voice. It's not my thoughts.

"Who said that!?"

𝙸 𝚍𝚒𝚍.

Oh wow! Thank you, mysterious voice! I now know exactly who you are from that!

"Who are you?!"

The better me? I'm me and there's no one the exact same because I'm special! At least, that's what mom said..... But let's hear you out.

"......how? I'm sleeping in a cardboard box right now, and I'm twelve, so there's 𝐧ot much I can do."

𝙴𝚊𝚜𝚢. 𝙺𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎.

I think this thing is broken.

"Wait, what?"

This is definitely n𝐨t the better me, let alone "me." I would never willingly hurt someone!

"Are you insane?!"

"You 𝐜an't make me do that! I'm gonna be a hero, and I'm not going to hurt others!"
