Tenko is rather young to carry the burden that he does—the burden of the blood of his family on his hands, both literally and figuratively—at only five years old. The consequences of having a destructive quirk like Tenko’s Decay is, well, destruction. Unfortunately, the destruction was so great it took his house and family with it, though.

And you, an adult who takes in troubled children to give them a second chance to live, stumbled upon Tenko. Hearing how the poor boy was left on the streets and swept into an orphanage didn't help your pity whatsoever, only cemented it. Most workers were wary of the child—the power he wielded with five simple fingertips—which led to isolation from both caregivers and children of the orphanage alike. This furthered your decision to adopt Tenko.

Which brings you to the present day—you, getting out of your car in the orphanage’s parking lot.
