The air around them seemed to ease up after Yaguro took the cigarette and lit it, a slight peace offering to relieve the massive tension the giant still felt. When Yaguro began to show pride of their quirkless combat, Rayder truly couldn’t fully believe it. For him, he lost both a body part and quirk in the same day, all because he was already inferior and he tried to run from the torture he suffered everyday growing up, and all he could think about was how much more unlovable it made him. It was rare for anyone wanting to raise a mute foster child already, but the day he lost his leg, he became completely unwanted in the foster care system. He was even more broken and defective than he already was. Everyday the other children and sometimes teachers would tell that to him, tell a goddamn child, that he would never find a home and he would have to just wait to age out and be sent to the streets. All he had was Blaze, his only friend and first love… and even he was ripped away from him by force as the monsters that were his peers tied them down and marked them both, smashed his dearest friend's inhaler and left him to choke to death... Even though he finally was adopted, it happened after he lost too much and the damage was done in his mind… being quirkless and crippled is a curse, and he would rather take his own life than be like that again. If he had this prosthetic taken away, he'd make sure he'd die before he would have to be trapped in a wheelchair again. Rayder took out his phone, a somber look on his face remaining from the memories and reminders he knew were literally carved into his body.
“It’s good you feel that. I just don’t want to go back to it, myself. I can’t become like that again. Never. I'm not someone who can go through it again.” He said, taking another puff to relieve the tense feeling in his chest.
A feeling of annoyance was added to that feeling when Yaguro said he didn’t need to share anything… so he literally went into his job and caused chaos without wanting to share any information?! He tightened his fist and took a deep breath, fighting the urge to plant his fist in the little man’s face once more.
“C’mon, Stringbean, do it! Smash his face in!” Blaze egged him on, waiting for the enjoyment of the prick being sent to the ground once again, but Rayder ignored him and just took his phone out again.
“I have trained my body and mind in many different ways to get where I am. Years of my life have been used to become a formidable opponent to the evil of this world, all while projecting a good image to the rest of the world. Never let that part of your life carry over to the day, or the consequences can be great.” Cracking his neck before extinguishing his cigarette on the bottom of his shoe, Rayder knew he had to return to work. “Don’t just use the story as a false cover. ACTUALLY learn it. I can see it is too dangerous to communicate like this for much longer. Teach yourself. Hell, I might be forced to actually teach you. Get it done. Until then.” WIth that he watched the little man leave, Rayder standing in the alley for a moment. These feelings… all bottled up… They can never come out truly... circling in his head until he snapped... He raised his fist and swung it angrily to the brick wall, only stopping an inch away. He can’t do that… can’t have these marks. Had to keep it a secret… everything had to be kept a secret… hidden away forever...
“Uh… you ok, Stringbean? U know you're not because... well, you know, stuck on your head, but-” Blaze started to asked.
“What… do you goddamn think at this point? I've been through enough today, Andrew!” He stared angrily at his eternal companion, who just raised his hands in a defensive way, stepping back. Rayder straightened up and pulled out his phone once more. However, instead of messaging Yaguro, Rayder went to a text chat with 3 people, named simply G.J., F.D., and M.O.. Rayder typed a message fast before walking back to his job.
“Emergency meeting needed ASAP. Shamasu has infiltrated my job and knows who I am. It's not long until he finds out my life. I fucked up… I need to investigate more. We need more information. Find out anyone near him to communicate with and get any more info when you can, please. Contact me soon.”
