Summary
Izuku Midoriya is exactly four years old when he goes missing.
It’s an abrupt thing. One moment he is playing “All Might” with his mom and the next he isn’t.
Let me rephrase, he isn’t as in “is not”. He isn’t there and he isn’t somewhere else and he is not.Not anything.
It’s only a fraction of a second, the time it takes to blink but it feels like an eternity. Both to the mother who just watched her child disappear and the child who closes his eyes and can suddenly see everything.
“Black is a lack of light” is a lie. Black is the absence of light reflecting back at you. The more things present, the more pigmented the color the darker it is. The void is a black hole, dense and overflowing with too many things occupying the same space.
Monsters hide in the dark because they’re the opposite of claustrophobic. They squeeze and claw their way into the space and settle into the nooks and crannies that shadows provide.
Izuku Midoriya is exactly four years old when he learns monsters are real by becoming one himself.
