    Summary

    There's a quote that comes to mind: “Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.” If they'd been smart, the citizens of Konoha would have realized this. If you call a boy a monster, then a monster he shall be. Natsume has a head full of a past life's knowledge and the sinking realization that in this world, no one will step up to protect him and Naruto. So he learns to do it himself, even if it means staining his hands so Naruto can keep his clean.

    Summary

    "Is there a reason you're calling this late at night?" Tony asks, worried in spite of himself. "Tell me what's going on, kid."

    “Everything is one-hundred-percent fine,” Peter says. “Seriously, I've never been better. But I should let you know I have about thirty bricks of cocaine in my bedroom. Also, Karen won't let me turn off Instant Kill Mode. Also, Walmart discontinued my special razzleberry pink squeezy lemonade. Which isn't related to tonight's patrol, I'm just bummed about it.”

    Summary

    The woman crouches down, long hair piled up into a haphazard bun during the time he had looked away. Her eyes are level with his. “Don’t worry, Kabuto. Shimura Memorial Orphanage is a good place. If we can’t find your parents, you can stay here, okay?”

    An orphanage.

    He is in an orphanage and, he looks down at his hands with a familiar hollow ache in his chest, and he is a child.

    He is dead, and he is in an orphanage, and he is a child.

    Kabuto laughs and laughs and laughs.

    ...

    Or, a deeply unstable Root graduate with no concept of selfhood and only the most tenuous grasp of what sanity might be supposed to look like in sterile lab conditions makes friends, does his best to figure out how independence is supposed to work, terrifies a lot of responsible adults (and less responsible "peers") who really just want to help, and fends off “I can fix him” attempts on all sides (reciprocating with an “I can make him worse” aoe aura). Depressing introspection and unfortunate perspective gaps are only to be expected. This is the best Kabuto's mental health has been ... ever, and the eighth panic attack Hizashi has had this week.

    Summary

    Frequently asked questions don’t always have the same answer - not when it’s the whole world being questioned.

    But Midoriya had never let that stop him from asking, even in the face of hate and ridicule. One of his questions had been answered, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have more.

    A sequel to Wrong answers don't mean you should stop asking questions.
