"Hey. Hey. Heeey."

The boy blinked blearily. He squinted at the... figure, in front of him, who was still staring at him. He opened his mouth to reply before he was suddenly painfully aware of... well everything.

The dried blood on his head, his swollen eye the pulsating bruises on his arms, the burn marks- the burn marks... everywhere. He glanced up. And yet this stranger didn't bat an eye.

"Hey. Can you talk? Are you mute or something? I know JSL."

The boys eyes widened, he scrambled to quickly gather his bag. "H-hey I wouldn't move too quickly with those burn marks, trust me it won't-"

The figure paused, looking over the boys figure. They sighed. "...I won't ask where you got the burns, if that's what you're worried about." The boy continued to gather his belongings, ignoring the pain seeing through his bones.

The figure tried another tactic.

"My name is Kurosawa Aino. K-U-R-O-S-A-W-A-A-I-N-O. I live with my older siblings and my cat. I attend Hōmu Online Academy. My father works abroad and I'm quirkless."

She noticed how his posture became less stiff as he turned to face her. His eyes more focused on her figure than before. She smiled.

"I like cats, quirks, quirked cats, and cat quirks, my cat has a quirk, he's really smart. An ass, but smart." She sat down on the sidewalk, ignoring the few stares she got. "Now, you can tell me about yourself."

The boy nodded absentmindedly, slowly, his vision began to clear again. "...My name is Midoriya Izuku. M-I-D-O-R-I-Y-A-I-Z-U-K-U. I live with... my mom, and I attend Aldera Junior High. M-my dad works abroad and I'm q-quirkless..."

His eyes suddenly widened. He stuttered out some gibberish while waving his arms around quickly. Aino watched amused, before she continued with her small tactic.

"Hey, hey it's okay. You zoned out for a bit. But you never finished before."

Izuku flushed brightly, stuttering out the rest of the... introduction? He thinks it's an introduction, at least.

"I-I like analysis, q-quirks, a-analyzing quirks and quirk analysis, I like analyzing quirks, my d-dad analyzes quirks, my mom says I g-got it from him."

The girl nodded. Leaning back and locking eyes with him. Her voice was heard loud and clear, even if she said it well below others earshot. "Repeat after me, I am quirkless, I am quirkless, I am human."

Izuku nodded slowly, absentmindedly repeating her words. "I am quirkless, I am quirkless, I am human."

His mother used to say those words. His mother, his dad, his aunt, his therapist... they all said those words. And yet it only sinks in... when a completed stranger tells him. He'd opened his mouth to reply before suddenly it hit him. He quickly spun around letting his eyes land on his glowing phone screen. It was 5 pm it was way past when school lets out.
