Izuku's eyes scan the papers in front of him. His calculations look correct...

He turns his attention to the large device in his lap. About the size of his head, it blinked with several otherworldly colors.

Laying his note on his desk with the folder, he takes his ring - Mare Ring, his brain absently amends - and brings it to the tiny alcove in the cubic machine's otherwise smooth surface, hoisting his duffel bag on his shoulder.

This was it. He was really doing it.

Oh my god, I'm attempting dimensional travel. I'm going to get myself killed.

Izuku steels himself and his resolve, a soft amber flame lighting up the tear-drop gem set in the ring.

A trembling breath and push of a finger later, the only thing left of Midoriya Izuku is an orderly folder of calculations and a note for his mother.

The next morning, the entire neighborhood is woken by Midoriya Inko's horrified scream.

Dear Mom,

I want you to know that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't be there for you anymore. I'm sorry for being quirkless. I'm sorry for holding you down. I'm sorry for being the reason Dad's gone. I'm sorry for being a disgrace to our family.

I'm not sorry for leaving.

I know you love me. I love you. But I can't stay here. I can't take anymore of this, day after day of being told that I'm nothing, useless, will never amount to anything.

I've found a way to go to a world where there are people like me, all quirkless! I don't know if it'll be better there, but it can't hurt to try. At least I won't be alone, right?

I'll see if I can try and contact you, but I can't promise anything.

Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for caring about me. Thank you for being the best mom in the entire multiverse.

With all my love,

Midoriya Izuku

Midoriya Inko doesn't know how to react to the note. So she does the one thing Midoriyas are best at.

She cries.

Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa is confused. And stressed. Definitely stressed. But mostly confused.

The new case he is assigned to was not very intriguing. Another missing teen was reported that morning, which although was unfortunate, was quite common, especially with the rise of quirk trafficking and discrimination groups.

The boy, Midoriya Izuku, was quirkless. Not surprising, the quirkless went "missing" everyday, due to hate crimes, villain attacks, or simply ceasing to exist. It was a harsh truth of the world.

Walking into the apartment, everything seems to be in place. Pictures of Izuku and his mother were plentiful, nothing indicating an unhealthy household.
