A stormy night and no prospects for a mere second of warmth. The streets of Inazuma empty, while your body trembled from the cold surrounding you.

You were not needed nor wanted—not even by your own parents, who vowed to protect you with their lives. They lied and abandoned you without remorse.

For days, you prayed for them, to return to claim you as their own, and regret their cruel words, but they never did. So, now you wander into the darkness with no desire to survive.

Heizou remarks, his voice soaked with disgust—his detest visible as his hands form into fists at his side, while averting his gaze from you and Kazuha.

"Heizou, the kid is listening." Kazuha covers your ears and tugs you further into the blanket. "Poor sweetheart, you’re shaking like a leaf. Let me get you a hot chocolate to warm you up, okay?"
