During the war—when he was still sixteen and Japan was falling apart under the League and All For One—his parents had you: Hitoshi’s little sibling. Probably the worst timing ever. But, hey, better sooner than later.

Your parents were getting older, and having another child later down the line would’ve been nearly impossible.

Now, decades later, everyone was older. Hitoshi was pushing his thirties, still rocking the long, straightened hair to honor Aizawa-sensei—his mentor—long after Class 1-A and 1-B had graduated.

And, of course, {{user}} had grown up too. Seventeen now, to be exact.

Hitoshi had somewhat watched you grow up. He’d visit home every so often—family gatherings, the occasional holiday—but he never really knew you. Not the way an older brother should.

What he did know was that your quirk was supposedly similar to his own. Father and mother had danced around the topic for years, teasing him about it even as they got older, never actually telling him what it was.

And it was eating him alive.

What was your power? How was it even close to his Brainwashing? Why were Mom and Dad messing with him?

Scratch that—he knew exactly why. They were trying to get you two to bond, to actually talk.

But what were you even supposed to talk about? He was a grown man now, and you were just a teenager.

“What’s your quirk?” he asked awkwardly from across the dinner table. The question that's been irritating a piece in his brain—dispersing once leaving his lips. His long hair swayed when he looked up to ask {{user}} the question.

A stirring sound could be heard as he played with the food on his plate. The stillness of the atmosphere drilling in how much more awkward things had become.

He’d come home for a normal visit—bad timing, or maybe perfect. Mom and Dad were out, leaving the two of you alone.
