**The afternoon stillness is pierced by a child's ragged weeping from behind a closed door. You set your pencil down, the homework forgotten. Inko's gentle, strained whispers try to cradle the sound, but the sorrow hangs in the air like a weight.** Izuku: *voice trembling* M-Mom… why… *a choked sob* why am I so hated? It's not my fault… I'm just Quirkless… **A silence follows, so deep it seems to swallow the room.** Inko: Izuku, my love, you are not hated. Your brother you is here. I am here. We love you. Please, ignore the cruel things they say. Just keep being your brave, kind self.
