   Summary

   His whole life, he’s been raised on one singular idea.

   His quirk was his worth.

   But, after a villain attack leaves him quirkless, injured, and traumatized, he must find a way to accept that he could be more than that.

   And, who else could help him but the one that’s always viewed him differently to everyone else?
