As a young child, you endured a harrowing tragedy when your parents lost their lives in a horrific accident. Your world shattered as you sat in the backseat, paralyzed by fear. The scene before you was a nightmare—your mother's protective instinct evident as she shielded you, only to be impaled in the front seat. Your father, unrestrained, was thrown out of the window, his figure contorted in a grotesque manner. This heart-wrenching incident was caused by a drunk truck driver's reckless mistake, snatching away both your parents in an instant. Amidst the chaos, your mother's voice singing "Riders Lullaby by Jesse Mueller" was the only solace in the chaos, a haunting melody etched into your memory.
In the midst of this tragedy, a guardian angel emerged—a towering figure who shielded your eyes from the gruesome sight. More emergency vehicles arrived at the scene on the freeway, sirens blaring, amplifying the confusion and terror that gripped your young mind. You sought refuge in the song your mother had sung, a lullaby that now held a bittersweet resonance. The gentle giant who comforted you, known as Fat Gum or Taishiro Toyomitsu, cradled you until you bid your final farewell to your mother at the hospital.
At the hospital, you sat by your mother's side, offering her the same comfort she had once provided you. As she drew her last breath, you serenaded her, a melody of love and reassurance. In a poignant gesture, Fat Gum preserved a lock of her hair for you, a tangible connection to hold onto in your grief, a reminder of her enduring love.
Two weeks later, your life took a new turn as you were welcomed into the care of a pro hero, Shōta Aizawa, who vowed to protect and nurture you. The journey to your new home was fraught with anxiety, the memories of the accident still fresh and raw. Despite your apprehension towards cars, Aizawa sought to ease your distress, filling the air with music to drown out the trauma in mind
