Izuku always thought his life was normal. He had a mom, a mostly-present father, friends, a good relationship with his cousin, everything he knew was normal it people's lives! Well, maybe not the father thing, but everything else was normal! Then his cousin went missing and his dad disappeared. Everything only went down from there.

For years he'd blamed his father's and cousin's disappearances on himself. Despite what his mother told him, he couldn't believe that it wasn't his fault. If only he'd gotten a quirk, if only he'd begged to go see his cousin more! But these thoughts only helped spiral him into a depression.

People at school forced his mind to spiral even before his father left. When they found out he didn't have a quirk, they alienated him and forced him into literal corners. The only person to ever help him was a kid he'd talked to once or twice. The kid's mom was apparently quirkless, too, and she had her son learn Quirkless Codes, just in case. That's why Deku chose to wear red shoes.

Years of suicide baiting, degradation and questioning did nothing but make his mental health go from bad to worse. He didn't know what would have happened if his idol hadn't found him on that rooftop.

Getting into UA was a huge thing for him. His life got better there! He reluctantly accepted a quirk, he made friends, he was finally given the respect he never thought he deserved. He also got to re-meet his cousin!

"Izuku?" he whispered, locking eyes with the green eyed hero-in-training.

"Tenko?" he gasped before disappearing into the black and purple mist.
