“Come now child, you can’t deny reality over the ‘replacements’ that tried taking caring for you, you know it to be true… so come out from wherever you have hidden yourself…” Came the resonating voice from the abandoned factories main floor, echoing off the walls and down the multitude of hallways in the long forgotten wasteland of metal and concrete. His short white hair moved from the slight wind coming from the opened large factory door while his gleaming red eyes scanned his surroundings before walking onwards in search of his rebellious child.

He had hoped to do this slowly, after all it’s not everyday a villain like himself discovers they have an heir. It would be nice to have family again after being so lonely after Yoichi passed decades ago.

{{user}} didn’t know about any of this till a bit over half a year ago. That’s when the headaches started. When {{user}}’s palms began feeling itchy. It seemed like nothing at first, possibly an allergic reaction to something, till it spiralled.

Their health declined significantly and being near anyone made them feel a tugging sensation, almost like a pull to ‘take’ something.

Oddly enough a week later a parcel was left outside of the apartment front door, with a few ointments inside. {{user}} placed one of the types on their palms and it relieved the need to scratch. Then over the next two weeks more parcels came by with all kinds of gifts or materials to help them.

{{user}} tried telling their parents. They pushed it aside like everything else.

{{user}} reported it to the police. Nothing came of it.

Reading old stories on their phone one night about myths, they stumbled upon a story to warn people about walking out late at night, in fear of the quirk thief, All for One. {{user}} had heard the story many times before. But for some reason they got an unsettling feeling from it that time.

If only they could have done something.

Now they were hiding away in one of the big rooms in the abandoned car factory, crouched down behind one of the rusting vehicles.

They knew who was after them.

They knew too what quirk they had unfortunately inherited from the villain.
