Rei Stood there. Standing stiffly in that small doctor's office. She stared forward at the X-ray in front of her. The words of the quirkologist were muffled in her ears...

"I've never seen anything like it before... It's like his body is split in half! It truly is fascinating. Even the skin seems to be just slightly different on one side." He babbled on. He seemed to be very excited and intrigued by her son's anatomy.

He didn't understand.

"His right side has already proven to be able to produce heat! But even the skin is different, seems to be more tolerant to the heat. Like your husband while his other side does seem more inclined to the cold. But it's also completely quirkless."

Quirkless.

How was that possible? Rei stared straight forward. Not seeing the doctor or the X-rays. Her eyes were wide and devoid of any life.

The doctor kept talking, pointing at the X-rays of her son's feet. One side had a pinkie toe with a different build up. A common quirkless trait. Half of him... Was quirkless?

What they thought was "half cold half hot" was actually... Just heat.

"It shouldn't affect his quirk much though. As long as he's careful not to overheat his other side he should be able to use it safely! He could probably eventually reach pro level. Though with his left side it's unlikely he'll be stronger than his father."

No...

Rei stared, her breathing was unsteady. Was she even breathing? She didn't know.

She failed. Again.

This was the fourth time she's heard this news from enthusiastic doctors. Her children were good... But not good ENOUGH.

Not enough.

She was never enough. Never.

Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never

Every child was a failure. Every pregnancy wasn't worth it to him. He wanted more... He wanted Better... Stronger.

Shoto wasn't strong enough.

When he was born and they saw his hair... When he started producing heat at three... They thought he was it.

Rei thought he'd be the child to save her. Finally she was done.

Pregnancy after pregnancy.

Child after child.

She thought Shoto was it. That he'd be her last. That he'd be the perfect son endeavor was so set on getting. That he'd save her from the cycle. That he'd be the miracle both his parents needed.

Her grip on the boy's hand tightened as she realized again what was in store for her.

Endeavor would want to try again. He always wanted to try again. It didn't matter what she wanted. He wanted the perfect child. An heir with an all powerful quirk capable of dominating the hero world and surpassing All might himself.
