— hey- Akira! I told you not to grab your uncle's neckace! You're gonna break it! —
— c'mon sis, let the girl have fun! That thing survived Akihiko's brutal attacks, what's the chance a little girl like her's gon' break it? —
— god- it's your fault she doesn't listen to me! You spoil her too much! —

I remember I saw my uncle laugh at my mom's words.

I don't have many memories from my childhood before my six years, I only remember people dressed in black and standing in front of a big box, watching it in silence. This is one of the few fun memories I have from then.

The other memory I treasure from my childhood is the tale my uncle told me once. He was about to put me to bed, and I asked him to tell me a story to sleep.

— oy oy, alright, i'll tell you something original and cool now, not one of those "sleeping beauty" things. —
— but I like seepin' beaudy. —
— you missed the L again. Well anyway- let me start now 'kay? —
— aight. —

— good. Now, this story begins waaaaay before our age, around 200 years ago. — he moved his hands to signal something long. I guess the time that passed. — you see, that's the time where quirks first appeared. A glowing baby was born in China, and since that moment, a bunch of people started developing quirks, apparently out of nowhere. — in his hand, a little woman appeared, playing with floating water. — but it didn't only bring water of fire quirks, there was a varety of them, just like how it is now. — he looked at me, his happy face gone, which was rare in him.

— you see, Aki, in this generation was born a man with the power to take and grant quirks. Nobody knew his real name, but everyone called him "All for one". He was the one with the most powerful quirk known, and everyone feared him. —
— I don' 'ike 'im, soun's mean. — he laughed.
— he is very mean! Anyway, he had evil plans, he wanted to take over the world! But his younger brother knew that what he was doing was bad, so he decided to stop him! — in his hands, two men with white hair appeared. The tallest one had an evil smile on his face, and the shortest one a frown. — but the little brother was quirkless, so he couldn't fight him, he needed help from another people. — he finally smiled again.

— that's when our grand grand grand- uh, a lot of grands mother created this necklace! — The little figures dissapeared and he grabbed the necklace on his neck to show me — the brother asked our grandma for her help, since her quirk was incredibly powerful too- she could create objects out of her blood! —

— her bood? That souns scawy. —

— Oh i'm sure it wasn't so bad- anyway! Unlike you and me, she could make her creations permanent and almost indestructible, and she used some of his friends' quirks to add some things to this necklace! Kind of like magic. — he played around with the little gem as he talked. — grandma helped the brother fight All for one, but he was too powerful, and he enthrusted the mission of protecting the world from the bad guy to another friend. —

— oh? Bu' wha' happned to 'im and gama? —

— oh well, uh, I really don't know, but i' ll tell ya if I figure it out Aki. So! The necklace is something only us, as Kanrojis, can wear and know about, so don't tell about this to anyone! — I remember I giggled. — the uh, bad guy has been defeated a while ago, so don't you worry about having to help defend the world from such a scary guy! — he patted my head. — just make the world a prettier place with your cute flowers eh? I'm sure everyone would like that. —

He fixed my bed to sleep and kissed my forehead goodnight. He was like a big brother to me, since I had been born when he was still a young teen.

I remember feeling the tiredness in my eyes and see my uncle's smile turn to a frown, he muttered something I can't remember, or I can't figure out what he said.
