Makoto was born by a mother who never wanted him, but was forced to by her peers to go with the pregnancy. She cared for him, and tried her best, but with each passing day began to hate him. She hated for the life she could of had, and began to fear him for the way he made her feel. He was a loud and noisy child. A “nuisance.”
Things got worse when his Quirk finally realized. Panic, the storing and passage of anxiety through physical touch. Due to the seemingly invisible manner of his quirk, Makoto was put as “quirk-less” and just an unexpected statistic. But his quirk was very much there, and soon began to affect his life. His quirk would store up his anxiety, causing his body to have difficulty naturally calming down. Makoto became more anxious and constantly felt like in the middle of an anxiety attack. At school, and with friends, he was a very loud and touchy person. And so, he would unknowingly activate his quirk on those around them. This caused his once friends to become anxious around him and cut him off. Eventually, his whole school began to shun and outcast him, labelling him a “curse” and “bad luck.” Junior high was hell.
His relationship with his mother began to thin too with his quirk effecting her greatly. She became anxious around him and began to fear him. And with each day, she hated him even more. And overtime, the overwhelming anxiety began to hurt her heart. Makoto’s final straw was in highschool. Makoto failed any chance he had into getting into UA or into some hero course. To add onto that, his grades began to drop. His quirk made everything unbearable. He couldn’t stay calm, he couldn’t sleep. He began scratching at his skin out of anxiety. He began growing grey hairs. One night, he found a post his mother made on the internet. Venting about him and her life. Saying if she could turn back time, she would make sure she never had him. This broke Makoto. The once loud and touchy boy became quiet, reserved, and sometimes even dead-eyed. His relationship with his mother was destroyed. He could never look at her the same, and soon, they began to fight verbally.
Makoto and his mother looked, for years, to Doctors to help improve his anxiety. And finally, a Doctor identified his quirk: Panic. He felt like everything his peers said was right. He really was a “curse,” and his mother must of thought so too. Once home, she broke down and a fight began.
His mother yelled, asking him why he couldn’t be a “good child.” A “normal child.” Makoto screamed back at his mother, saying she never loved him. That’s he’s seen the post. The two screech at each other, before Makoto starts breaking down crying, asking his mother why he was born. His mother apologizes, going forward to try and comfort Makoto, but he pushes her away. And in that moment, accidentally activates his quirk.
And upon touch, his mother had a heart attack and dies.
Makoto tried to call for help, but their phones got lost in the fight. He scoured through their house for a phone, but by the time he found one, their mother was already dead. Makoto cried and screamed, eventually passing out from all the stress and emotional turmoil. It was the first time he had slept in a while.
The next day, he freaked out, reality hitting with his mother’s lifeless body. He didn’t know what to do? Did he call for help? A neighbor? Maybe the police? The anxiety was unbearable. Soon, it was time for school. With no answer, he anxiously went to school telling himself he’d “figure it out.” But a day became another, and a week became a month.
His anxiety also began to build up. It hit a new low as his sleep deprivation was setting in. He became increasingly paranoid and began to hallucinate. Until one night, he began to hallucinate that his mother’s dead corpse was moving. He believed she was coming back to life to kill him, and thus, punish him for what he did. He freaked out, and burned his house down.
