Age 3

Fuyumi was crawling towards me falling over a couple times doing so. As I reached over to grab her, ice flew from my hand and covered the carpet. Fuyumi cried from the cold and I just sat there wondering what was happening. Mama ran into the room and towards me and Fuyumi.
"Was that your quirk?" Mama asked.
"I think so," I responded looking at my hand. Relief covered Mama's face and I'll soon find out why...

A few days later

Once again I was playing with Fuyumi, this time with Mama with me. We stopped playing as we heard a pained screech from the other room. We immediately ran towards the noise. When I got there, I saw Touya laying on the floor burn marks on his skin.

I ran over to him. Before I could reach him, Father came over and pushed me away.
"Show me your quirk," He commanded Touya. Flames began to cackle on my brother's arms.
"Perfect," Father said, smirking as Touya fell to the ground in pain. His quirk is hurting him?!

Father dragged Touya to the spare room and I felt useless. What was even happening to him? After a few hours, Father left the room. Mama was caring for Fuyumi so I was the one who ran to his aid. He was laying up against the wall and blood rolled down from the burns on his face.
"Touya wake up!" I yelled in fear shaking his arm as rough as I could without harming him.
"H..hi," he muttered his eyes opening slightly.

After a few minutes of me panicking over him, Mama came into the room and horror covered her face when she saw Touya's state.
"Touya!" She yelped running over to us and placing Fuyumi next to me. I covered her eyes. Mama immediately began to aid to his wounds. She told me to take Fuyumi to my room and to go to bed. I was reluctant at first but I eventually went back to my room with the younger girl. Luckily, she had fallen asleep during those few minutes when we had been with Touya.

I placed her down on the bed. That night I spent a few hours trying to sleep but I just couldn't. I watched Fuyumi sleep. That man outside is no longer my father, he's just a cold-hearted villain.

After a few hours, Mama came into the room and placed Touya onto his bed. I sat up and looked over at him. He was bandaged up and the blood had all been cleaned up. Mama sat beside me.
"Don't worry Tao. He'll be fine," She said wiping tears from my eyes. After a few minutes of Mama hugging me, she picked up Fuyumi and left to go back to her room.

I spent that entire night tossing and turning in my bed. There was no way I could see after seeing my twin brother, my best friend, my other half, in such a pained state.
