"No, no. I need to do this. That voice inside me would never leave me alone if I gave up."
TOY STORY 4 SENTENCE STARTERS ;
A knot formed in the mother’s throat, hands brought towards her chest as she held them tightly as her knuckles turned white. Things over the last years had changed so drastically, a sudden spin to her naturally calm universe that still left Inko grasping out for normality to return.
When Izuku got diagnosed as Quirkless, admittedly there had been a sick twisted sense of relief that she still felt too ashamed to admit to her son. The toddler was always so fascinated with All Might, somehow finding joy and admiration in a video surrounded by devastation and roaring flames that kept the woman awake more than a few nights each month.
Never in her life did she have time to prepare for this sudden surprise. To see her son mangled, broken, bleeding and bruised but still smiling because his dreams were becoming true was a hard victory to swallow.
She was proud of him, but also terrified.
Terrified that his idolization for heroes and sacrificial soul would one day leave her with just pictures of a young smile and a tombstone to visit each day.
“Zuzu I..”
“I love you, my sweet baby.. you’re my world. I..I can’t be as strong or as brave as you are. I feel fear, I feel anxiety whenever I can’t see you.
You’re so strong and just fighting for your dreams that, I wonder where you got it from.
I promised to support you, and I will continue to do so as you too keep your promise to me, so please..even if you follow that little voice to greatness I know you will achieve one day.
Don’t forget about my voice okay? Don’t forget about this old sad lady that just wants her son to live..please? Please..don’t forget my voice.”
