Kaminari is aware that he's funny, but often feels that his humour is his only redeeming quality, that it's the reason he has friends. He is found relying too much on this trait, weather the timing of it is appropriate or not. This causes him to joke at times where he shouldn't, or let others laugh at things that may deeply affect him. Bad grades, low self esteem, imposter syndrome and more leads him to feel less and less worthy of his spot in class 1A, in-fact, not worthy of much at all. So what does he do now? Risk losing everyone around him by ruining his funny, energetic persona or suffer in silence? The only other option he can think of some would call "a tragedy". But as things get more and more complicated, Kaminari starts to feel as though the third option might be the only way to happiness, both for him and everyone else.

I am not romanticizing mental illness in any way, I based this story off of my own struggles. I use projection as a coping mechanism and i find i relate to Denki a lot. So i thought i'd write a fic while also telling a bit of my story.
