Chapter 170: I WISH THAT I COULD WAKE UP WITH AMNESIA

"...es, I'm sure... understand."

A voice mumbles from somewhere in the room.

I wince, my brain spinning.

'Where... am I...?'

I reach up to touch my aching head.

'...?'

I can't move.

I try again.

It's no use.

I squint open my eyes.

"Ah, you're awake," a grubby voice rings out.

I can't even turn my head.

"Don't struggle too much, you'll hurt yourself," I strain my eyes over and can barely make out the Doctor toddling about in my periphery.

I follow him with me eyes when something blocks my way.

Judging by the height, I was on a bed, so the thing next to me was probably on a bed too.

I crane my vision upwards.

"Ugh...!" 

It's Shigaraki, out cold on the bed and looking worse for wear than he usually does.

He was covered in bruises as far as my eyes could see, and were those... track marks?

A chill shoots down my spine.

"Ah, don't worry about him," the Doctor reenters my sight, "once I'm done with you I'll bring you both for incubation."

I glare up at him, "I'm not exactly in the position to worry for him, am I?"

I'd already tried melting off my restraints, but he'd given me something to suppress my quirk.

The last thing I could remember was speaking to the Doctor.

He said I looked like...

'Yoichi Shigaraki...'

Was I related to Tomura? No, that didn't make sense.

'It's All for One's last name.'

I paused.

How did I know that?

"Don't be too scared, your process will only take a month or so," he grinned, flicking at a syringe.

"Oh, but you'll be in stasis until our master awakens," he adds on, gesturing to Shigaraki.

"How reassuring," I hiss.

At this, the Doctor pauses, then bursts into laughter.

'What's wrong with this guy?!'

"It really is a shame I have to bring Nora back, he was never quite so lively," he sighed, wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes.

"What the hell do you mean bring me back, I'm right here." I speak as certainly as possible.

The Doctor nods, shuffling closer.

I want to lean away but I physically can't.

"Yes, your body is here, but your mind isn't," he taps at my forehead, making a shudder of disgust wrack my body as I flinch away.

"Nora has been sealed away," he smiled.

"What the fuck are you talking abou-" "The memories of your life before 'Ryo'" he cuts me off.
