    Summary

    Shikata ga nai (仕方がない), pronounced [ɕi̥kata ɡa naꜜi], is a Japanese language phrase meaning "it cannot be helped" or "nothing can be done about it".

    Shikata ga nai—it cannot be helped.

    It is the marrow of existence in the Borderlands. At some point, you stop asking why you're here or if you deserve it. It doesn't matter in the end, because you are here whether you deserve it or not.

    People die. Friends betray you. The world here is cold, indifferent, and immovable, and no amount of tears or rage can alter its course.

    Shikata ga nai—it will never be helped.

    The game demands sacrifice, and you are its dutiful servant. Their death ensures your life. Their blood buys you one more moment in twisted purgatory. This is the only life left to you, and it is as inevitable as the sunrise and just as cruel.

    Summary

    A new era ushered in by the appearance of super-powered individuals had society on the brink of collapse- until heroes took a stand against the rising chaos, using their powers to maintain a sense of peace. It's a part history every citizen knows by heart. Except one.

    Miyo knows she's not supposed to be Miyo. She's old enough to have a healthy drinking problem, but everyone around her is convinced she's a child. She hasn't spoken to her parents in years, but that doesn't mean she wants a strange woman insisting she's her mom. Her body is too small, her face is completely different, and she's developed horrific deformities on her head and backside- a pair of horns and a tail.

    Miyo isn't the only thing Miyo feels weird about. When did meta-humans become so widely accepted? Why dress in flashy costumes to fight one another? Where are the people she loved?

    Everything Miyo knew vanished- now she has to live with what replaced it.

    Or -

    A woman who lived through the advent of quirks wakes up in the body of a young girl more than one hundred years later. With no way to go back, she can only move forward, but the ghosts of the past continue to haunt the present.
