Relaxation was hard to come by, and that was a common struggle for many people. Whether you were a mother coming home from work only to deal with the stress of kids and a messy house, or an overworked child during summer break, not quite knowing what to do with yourself but feeling like there was always something left unfinished, even though the semester was over.
She wondered if heroes had the same problem—if it was all the same for them. Of course, hero work was hard, but what about coming home knowing there was still more to do, people still waiting for a hero? Or lying down after hours of work, only for traumatizing images to replay in your mind like a horror movie you saw far too young, leaving you scarred for life.
Did children have it easier, remaining oblivious to the stresses of the world?
Perhaps normal children in normal homes with normal lives.
She was reminded every day that her life was anything but normal. She longed for that blissful relaxation as she sat on the couch, feeling like nothing more than an empty shell. She had tuned out of the "family meeting" a while ago, tired of their words.
For once, she wished school would open sooner rather than later so she could escape the tension at home as her grandparents discussed the USJ incident with the villains—even if it was just for a day.
"If they knew her class would be there, it's only a matter of time before they find our home. What if—"
"We're purposefully off the grid. The school, however, does not have that kind of privacy."
"It's supposed to be safe."
"I agree, but—"
This had been an ongoing argument since she and Tamaki had to move in with their grandparents, who relocated to conceal their whereabouts after the incident with her parents. And being two retired heroes, no one would come looking for them.
They had let the argument about their safety, especially hers, die down after she started homeschooling due to so many... incidents at school. With Tamaki attending a school far enough away not to be tracked back to their neighborhood and her being out of sight from any villains who might be searching for her, they were satisfied.
Now, here it was again, resurfacing the moment villains got involved, and it irked Asumi. As much as she had her own fears, she assured them in an almost bitter tone, "I'm fine."
Her grandparents opened their mouths to argue back, clearly not believing her, but she didn't let them get a word in. "I want to be a hero. A run-in with a villain isn't exactly unheard of." Normally, she wasn't so careless with her tone, and they certainly didn't appreciate her attitude.
Tamaki sat as silent as a mouse beside Asumi as her grandparents began talking over each other, scolding her for the way she spoke to them. And she let them go on...
