You weren't sure when it started... your insomnia that is.
After your older brother was taken to prison, you've been working twice as hard. Taking a part-time job at the pharmacy, and having university classes at night
Your brother was the only family you had. Ever since your parents died, it's only been you two. You were only 5 and Stain was 13 when your parents passed away
You're not sure what happened, the only thing you remember about that night was your house on fire. Black smoking filling up your lungs as your brother carried you in his arms, crying out for help
You remember the bright flames engulfing your home on Christmas night.
Your cheeks drench from your tears. And freezing cold from the harsh icy winds of winter
You couldn't understand what was happening, wasn't the wind suppose to blow the fire out?You were small back then so you didn't quite know the chemistry behind things
If only you knew that cold fronts came with strong winds which then stir up the fire and provided it with more oxygen to burn more intensely
You cried out your parents name, while Stain ran around looking for help. But help never came
Some time passed when finally 2 heroes showed up, but by then you and your brother were long gone
There was no point in staying behind. You knew your parents died in that fire. And you two didn't have any other family members. Meaning you two were most likely going to be separated. Stain might've been adopted because of his quirk, but you? You didn't have anything to offer. You had no quirk. And therefore didn't provide anyone with any incentive to need you.. to want you
Stain realized this and refuse to be adopted. So instead he grew up and took several part time jobs to provide money for the both of you. Both of you made it to a private school with your good grades. And later on he eventually took on a career of a vigilante where he would kill villains. Until he got in a fight with another vigilante and since then he took on the name "Stain" left behind that career and embarking on his new life. Which now involved the killing of heros he saw as unworthy
The heros decided not to look into this. It was Christmas night after all, and everyone just wanted to get back to their families
Now 16 years later and your only family left is locked behind bars in Tartarus, a prison extremely distant from civilization where the most dangerous villains are held. Since his imprisonment, you haven't been sleeping much and you kept yourself busy with homework and work at the pharmacy
