I am no monster

"Hey let's play cops and robbers?"

"Why? cops are so boring"

"Cops aren't all that bad, they protect us while heros try to take down the villain"

"booooring"

I woke up with a feeling of annoyance. More dreams of memories that i don't even remember. Who were the kids talking? friends? family? classmates? who knows? all i know is they're mine, that's all. I sat up on my bed causing a squeaky noise to form. I looked around to see my empty room except for a table against the wall that had a mirror and my hood sitting on it. When i accepted this room from june she apologized for the lack of items, but i didn't care. I have no need for objects, only a waste of time.

In my time of staying here i have saved more people and my speech impediment has improved with the help from june. Apparently before she opened this restaurant she was a japanese teacher. She helped me with my speech making it so i didn't pause between every word but i still had a long pause between sentences. My sentences still sounded simply though or not very sophisticated, but i worked through it.

I stood up moving towards the table holding my hood. I grabbed my hood but stopped before looking in the mirror to see my eyes with their red pupils and my pure black skin. My reflection quickly flashed to a boy wearing a red t-shirt that had brown eyes with matching brown hair then back to normal. I put my hood on making sure it was on comfortably before leaving my room.

I walked down the stairs that lead into the back rooms of the restaurant. I walked through the hallway passing through a door that lead into the kitchen until he was were the guests sit. As he walked out he saw june sitting at a booth looking at some papers with a plate full of breakfast. Their was another one sitting across from her which must be for me. I sat down across from her breaking her attention from the papers.

"Good morning, how did you sleep?", june asked pushing the papers to the side.

"Fine...had another...dream", i said staring off into space.

"hm, did it involve another memory?", she asked.

"...yes, but i still....can't remember", i answered looking down.

"Don't worry they'll come eventually", she said with a smile.

"Thank you...for food", i said before beginning to eat.

"what are your plans today?", june asked.

"walk", i simply answered.

"A walk? when have you ever just gone on a "walk"?", she asked with a smirk.

"Everyday", i answered.

"true, but you always come with some scrapes or mud on you. You can never just go on a simple walk...you know what? i don't think i've ever asked for your name?", june said with a realization. 

"I..don't have...one", i said looking down.

"let's change that then, you have a fire quirk correct?", june asked.

"yes", i said while showing my hand on fire.

"Then why not kasai?", june asked.

"ok", i said ok with the name.

"well then, hello kasai. Welcome to the slums", she said in a joking manner. I laughed slightly in amusement with her joke.

We had a small conversation while we ate our meals. The papers june was looking at was apparently the bills for the restaurant which are easy to deal with now that she doesn't have to pay protection money. After finishing my meal i thanked her again for making it then exited the restaurant.
