History TearJerker / IDontRunAnOrphanage

* As he is losing against Chronostasis, Aoyama regrets complaining to his parents so much about his quirklessness, which led to them becoming under All for One's mercy, and for telling All for One about how long his class was staying at the Midoriya Mansion, which leads to LoV & MLA invading the mansion, putting his classmates and the Midoriyas in danger.

* Kiba is heavily conflicted when Eri offers her blood to her. On one hand, it is the very stuff that put Eri's life before being adopted in tatters, and the thought of it nauseated her out of trying to drink it, but declining the offer after Eri draws it out for her and all but begged her to drink it might not be the wisest decision, so Kiba chose to suck it up and drinks it, hating how much she cannot enjoy it despite how sweet to is due to the fact that it caused Eri so much pain throughout her life.
* When Izuku asks Eri as to why she gave her blood to Kiba without telling him, she admits how she feels like she can't do much as she still unable to master her Quirk

*

-->'''Fukunoko:''' I'm sorry. It's just…sometimes, it still feels like a dream. Or like I'm inside an Isekai. It…the months I've spent here sometimes don't feel real. I'm worried I'm going to wake up one day, and everything will go back to normal. I won't have Eri, or Kei, or you. No one will tell me I'm amazing. No one will tell me I'm useful. I'll go back to being Fukunoko. Child of Misfortune.

* When Fukunoko tries to apologize for thinking Kioku can climb up the Beowulf by herself, Kioku harshly cuts her apology off, stating that not everything is her fault, only for Fukunoko to tell her that she's been trying to be less [[ApologisesALot apologetic]], knowing how annoying that is, causing Kioku to regret it and apologizes.

-->'''Fukunoko:''' I can still hear him sometimes, judging me. Insulting me. Sometimes I can even feel him hitting me. I don't even know how that's possible but it is. He can't touch me anymore, but everything he did still happened, it made me into…into this. He made me not able to call someone father, he made me always afraid that someone is trying to hurt me. He made it so I can't LOVE myself.

* Kioku eventually tells Fukunoko how much she hates herself for feeling envious when seeing stable families due to her experience with her neglectful birth family, only for Fukunoko to reveal that she knows how Kioku feels, that she grew envious of characters in books she reads due to them having loving families, best friends, or lovers while she had an abusive father, that even now, months after being adopted by the Midoriyas, she still endures the effects of his abuses, especially since she found out what she has been missing out from growing up normally after eating Amai's Love candy.

* Kioku eventually tells Fukunoko how much she hates herself for feeling envious when seeing stable families due to her experience with her neglectful birth family, only for Fukunoko to reveal that she knows how Kioku feels, that she grew envious of characters in books she reads due to having loving families, best friends, or lovers, that even now, months after being adopted by the Midoriyas, she still endures the effects of his abuses, especially since she found out what she has been missing out from growing up normally after eating Amai's Love candy.

* Kioku eventually tell

*

'''Izuku:''' Oh. Right. I guess I do say stuff like that a lot too. Is that how they feel when I say it? I really owe both of them an apology.

'''Hagakure:''' You don't like other people devaluing themselves? ''*Raising eyebrows*'' Well imagine how your mom and Uraraka feel.

* Jiro asked if wearing [[BlackCloak Aegis Robe]] may bring the wrong kind of assumption about the Midoriya Foundation. Izuku told her that people are [[FantasticRacism more likely to judge him for being]] [[UnSorcerer quirkless]] than for wearing the robe.

** Namae explains that the reason she let the Midoriyas adopt Eri, with no more fuss than a single signature on a paper, is due to how hard it is to find someone who is willing to adopt an OPC. While they have [[HeroismIncentive monetary rewards]], the caretaker(s) usually [[DeconstructedTrope end up]] taking the money for themselves while neglecting the child they are supposed to care of. While O.P.C.C.C tends to be an IncompetenceInc, you can't help but think that they might also be a KnightInSourArmor.

** Kei's first appearance is being forced to use [[TakenForGranite her quirk]] on the innocents by a robber or she'll get shot by his gun. When Izuku saved her, she was about to hug him, but because she was facing him, she accidentally petrifies him, making her rapidly apologize for it to the petrified young boy while crying.

*** Kiba's parents abandoned her after she tries to drink their blood, and must survive by assaulting people for blood before meeting Fu, which gives her a less violent alternative by just stealing a lot of meat for Fu and Fu gives her his (practically) unlimited supply of blood. All while avoiding being captured by authorities.
** When Izuku tries to [[RefusalOfTheCall convince Namae that there must be someone else that could adopt such lovely children]], the O.P.C.C.C agent [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness immediately stopped her plea]] and explains that its hard to raise a kid in current times, let alone a UnstablePoweredChild where the risk of injury and even death is possible to the caretaker, the children themselves, or the surroundings. If not for her DeadpanSnarker tone, one would think that her [[StepfordSmiler mask]] was slipped there.

** None of the kids besides Eri knew that Izuku is [[UnSorcerer Quirkless]], and when Fu asked his new family member about what his Quirk is, he just says "It's not important".
** The background of Sansan, the SlimeGirl. Her [[AcidAttack Quirk]] kills her mother while she was still in her womb, causing her father to angrily drops her to her relatives, but none of them can take care of her until one of them had enough and [[AndIMustScream put her in a jar and dump her at Dagobah Beach]] a year ago, giving her Claustrophobia.

** As they pack kinds of stuff before moving out in a few weeks, Fu founds Izuku's old Quirk Analysis notebooks. but the note slowly becomes less coherent and full of messy scribbles before it ends with him writing that he now sees his analysis hobby as a constant reminder that he can never be a hero.

*** Izuku then found the kids with the notes and started stuttering. When the kids started asking questions, he keep telling them that it is unimportant before Kiba asked if it was because his Quirk was robbed, forcing him to correct her by coming out that he is [[UnSorcerer born Quirkless]], and he did not want to be open about it because he's worried what would they think of him.

** As Izuku feared, Eri was having ThousandYardStare because she prefers Kioku's FakeMemories and longing for it. Thankfully, Izuku decided that while not all, Kioku can cut off most of Eri's memory that directly about Overhaul.

*** He then explains to Kota why Pro Heroes are important in the current society.

** Ochako defends Izuku that he has the capability to be a hero after hearing about All-Might's first time meeting him, giving the pro hero a pang of guilt.

** After some investigation, it is discovered that the WildChild's parents do love him, but they were killed by wild animals, and the reason he survives is that he has his Quirk the moment he was born.
** The reason the WildChild kidnap Izuku? He has the ability to detect emotions, and the Quirkless teen is the first positive emotion he ever felt in his life.

* Hang Out: Ochako asked if Izuku feels cheated that All Might did not choose him for receiving One For All, causing the green teen to cry and admit that at times, he imagined [[FondMemoriesThatCouldHaveBeen what would his life be as All Might's successor]], but he's used to imagining what would his life be with a Quirk. And now, he has a [[AdoptivePeerParent responsibility]]. Not to mention he doubt he can score high in the entrance exam with One For All compared to her, who has her own Quirk in case One For All can't be used.

** While her traumatic past got mostly removed by Kioku, Eri still has enough memories about Overhaul that she has ornithophobia.

** Tenya asked Fu why did he even join the other kids visiting The Mighty World if he did not enjoy it. Fu explains that he [[EmptyShell loses the ability to feel anything]] ever since his Quirk is active, and [[SenseLossSadness he's longing for it]].

** Shiruku's [[SpiderPeople unique anatomy]] render her incompatible with most of the carnival rides. She has to cram and contort her legs to sit on a roller coaster

* Friendly Faces: Fukunoko's backstory is elaborated further here. After realizing that he will have a daughter instead of a son, her father raised her to be someone he can set an ArrangedMarriage to rich people, including forcing her to [[StayInTheKitchen learn cooking, cleaning, and sewing]], and when she fails, he beat her up. He even tied her up to a chair to learn how to sit still. And when she gains her Quirk, he sees his grand plan failed, calling his daughter "unmarriable!" and "A complete failure!" before locking her in her room until D.O.C comes and rescues her. It's no wonder she's a NervousWreck.

** Kai implied that D.O.C did not really accommodate him that much, with his room in the mansion being way bigger than his [[ExtranormalPrison cell]].

--->'''About Izuku's Quirk Training License:''' ''Midoriya is technically a quirk counselor but considering his age and how stupidly easy it is to get that license, I doubt he's very good.''

** Izuku's TripleShifter rears an ugly head when he found out that [[FailedASpotCheck he forgot to add bathroom to Kai's room]].

** After realizing the weight of the decision she has to make, Eri decided to go asking her siblings for their opinions first, making Izuku regret putting this responsibility on her in the first place.

* Shorts 8: Izuku is starting to accumulate stress. When Namae calls him that D.O.C will send him 5 more kids instead of the agreed number of 3 and snobbishly explains why he just [[SuddenlyShouting yells "NO!"]] at her. The incident was immediately [[TheEmpath noticed]] by Yami, but Izuku insists that he is okay now. When Yami presses on because he can see through Izuku's lies, the teen snaps at him as well. While he did [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regret yelling at both of them]] and he agrees with Namae that he needs to seek professional help, his job as OPC caretaker comes first.

* Roaring Revenge: Ever since Bakugo was under thin ice and people in U.A. knows about his record of being a bully, he's been [[AllTheOtherReindeer isolated by his classmates with no one talking to him]]. Kirishima wants to befriend him, but the explosive teen's record makes him keep second-guessing himself.

* 2 V 4: Izuku is disappointed that, while Mina and Hagakure are fans of Kiba, they are too new to recognize Fu, for he was hoping that someone would, and not be terrified by his [[TechnicallyLivingZombie Quirk]].

*** Mina, after seeing Kiba releasing [[HellishHorse The Nuckelavee]], asked if ThereAreNoTherapists at Midoriya Foundation. Izuku sadly admits that he having a hard time trusting other people to be entrusted to the kids.

--->'''Mina:''' ''[[SadisticChoice I'll have to...hurt kids? That's awful! But if I don't...I might just ruin their life]]''

** After the discussion from the previous chapter, the mood turned somber. Even the GenkiGirl Mina is affected. Kirishima wants to cheer her up but is unsure of what he can do to do that.

** Izuku hammered down on Bakugo's head that he truly gave up trying to be a hero, for chasing it while raising multiple kids is just irresponsible. It is so OutOfCharacter to what Bakugo remembers "Deku" used to be, he actually shocked.

** Nara was not allowed to use her [[ImprobablyHighIQ Grey Matter]] form because she was told it would be "unfair to the other kids", and her previous teachers would threaten her with detention if she does so.

** Izuku is drowned in paperwork on daily basis to ensure the Foundation is well-funded through various means, because some of his money sources have dried up, and he needs to prepare in case the government stops funding him because there are no other jobs in the world that can sustain the Foundation WHILE still having time for the kids.

** The Uraraka construction company was embarrassed that they tend to be out of their league whenever they worked at Midoriya Mansion. Since they are a small company, they sometimes lacked supplies, which Izuku then purchases himself (which means even more paperwork). They have since sworn to reorganize the company to ensure this won't happen again.

** As soon as she saw Izuku unconscious on the desk, Kiba immediately grab him and lay him on the floor, dropping her {{Chuunibyou}} act and repeatedly [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious crying out "Daddy"]] while gently shaking him, trying to wake him up.

** Most of the other kids are either too stunned to say anything or start crying when they see the unconscious Izuku with BloodFromTheMouth spilling out, with Fu being the only one that is cool-headed enough to take charge.
** Fukunoko was panicking when her breakfast hasn't arrived yet. She paranoidly thinks that they left her to starve to death when she heard Kei from the outside asking if she and Eri can come in, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness sounding surprisingly somber]]. When Fukunoko opens her door, she sees Kei with StepfordSmiler and her [[ExpressiveHair snake hair is slumped and sad]], while Eri has bloodshot eyes with tear tracks on her cheek and MessyHair. And when they try to explain what's going on, the two are so stuttered to talk but try anyway. The two cries again as Fuku hugs them.
** Kai is just waking up and about to head to the mansion when Fu walks towards him. The Kaiju boy asked if Kilba will stream today, only for Fu to tell him that she will not stream for a while because Izuku is hospitalized. This causes Kai to go OcularGushers, asking Fu [[ThisCannotBe how could this happen to Izuku]].

** Inko felt like she has failed her son when she learns that Izuku was hospitalized and she is on the other side of the world running her company.
** Kota is having ThousandYardStare when Mandalay explains that Izuku is hospitalized and he appointed Wild Wild Pussycats in his letter to temporarily take care of the kids. His aunt wanted to assure him that everything is going to be okay and that Izuku will recover, but she knows it won't work with her orphan nephew.

** All Might blame himself because he believes that Izuku's TripleShifter was inspired by his own, since the teen now [[BloodFromTheMouth coughing out blood]] [[{{CallBack}} as often as himself]].

** Fukunoko nervously tries to walk into Kiba's room to tell her that Izuku survives and would recover, only to find [[MessOfWoe Kiba's room practically trashed]] with Kiba herself sitting in front of the tv with messy pajamas and hair, bloodshot eyes with eyebags. She even loses her LargeHam and drops her {{Chuunibyou}} act when Fuku tries to talk to her. Fukunoko didn't like how much Kiba resembles [[NervousWreck herself]] right now as she asked if her [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious daddy]] is all right.

* Fu, Ken & Nara cringed when Mina & Hagakure excitedly asked about Kiba, causing some of the students - Even Dark Shadow - concerned about what happened to her.

** Fu, who knows her the longest, is stumped that even he had no idea how to help her.

-->'''Eri:''' ...If I could use my quirk...I could fix dad. And he'd never have to be like that ever again.

** Izuku wanted to say that the paperwork she causes did not really do much to his work, but he realizes that he did collapse from overwork, so he cannot make that excuse anymore.

* It's been days since Izuku speak to Kiba, and true to her word, she didn't budge, even through the efforts of the other kids and 1-A students.

** Kiba lashes out at Fu, not believing that he knows how she feels since he is an EmotionlessBoy, that his Quirk never broke or destroy anything like hers, and how he and Yami are definitely Izuku's favorite children because of how obedient and non-destructive they are, [[TheUnfavourite unlike her]].

* Kiba started developing AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength-based paranoia, and desperately want to do more exciting things, but she forces herself not to for Izuku's sake.

* While Izuku gave her the opportunity to atone for what she had done, some of the deal's rules are an unfortunate necessity.

* After learning what a therapist is, Yami asked why there are still so many people suffering in the world if therapists exist. Izuku regretfully explains various reasons why people can't or won't visit one, including Japan's own stigma about mental health.

'''Nise:''' I...I can't fail! *''Gritting her teeth''* Mommy and daddy said I had to kill him (Izuku)! I have to! Otherwise, I'm worthless! A-And they'll put me in the [[TrainingFromHell training room]] again! I'm not going back! I can't go back! I won't!
* After defeating Fu, his word of how Nise could just [[HeelFaceTurn surrender and come with him to The Foundation to be actually adopted]] lingers in her mind. Nise is sick of being TheFakeCutie, sick of killing people, and sick of her parents who are never satisfied with her accomplishments as their assassin, yet punished her when she fails. But after living with her parents for so long, she is just unable to believe such happy life is possible.

'''Izuku:''' That's not true in the slightest. You guys have reduced my workload by so much it's insane. I actually have time to relax for a few hours and sleep for a healthy amount of hours. If I had a normal job, then you guys would have left me with nothing to do and then some...but I don't have a normal job. My job brings many, many benefits, and they vastly outway the negatives. But one of those negatives is that [[InItForLife my work never ends]], and much of it is too important to just let anyone do it. Thanks to you guys I was able to rest for a while, but I can't do that forever.\\

* Izuku explains to Kioku that he needs to hire Sori to protect her and the other kids because, despite his wealth and influence, and as much as he wanted to do it himself, he's still a Quirkless teenager.

* While he initially thinks, back when Sori trespasses the woods, to [[TakeMeInstead offer himself to Sori if it means the kids won't be harmed]], Izuku stopped when he realizes that [[VetinariJobSecurity if he dies now, The Midoriya Foundation will fall apart.]] Not to mention how his death will be affecting the kids.

* We see how jaded Kioku is, from assuming the guy who helped her might have a bad intention to feel vindicated of her nihilist point-of-view from seeing a kid being bullied for his arcade tickets, to assuming that Mina is secretly a StepfordSmiler who had bad parents at home. Yami and Yonda are both incapable of comprehending her level of cynicism.

* Mina tries to console the crying Kioku, thinking that her breakdown was based on how uncomfortable she is with strangers, and telling her that not all people are as horrible as her birth parents, only for the little girl to reveal that she's ''already aware'' of that, but the fact that there are nice people in the world made her question why she's the one with neglectful parents...

--->'''Kioku:''' But-but I should be fine now. ''*Sobs*'' I have a daddy that loves me a whole lot! And I have sisters and brothers and they love me too! A-And I play with them, and I have fun! I'm happy! [[GreenEyedMonster But…when I see…when I see people being all happy, and families being happy and loving each other I feel…I feel like how I used to. I feel angry and-and sad and-and jealous!]] But why do I feel jealous? I have what they have now. Why do I still feel like that? [[SunkCostFallacy Why do I still want people to be bad, so I don't feel like that?]] I know it's not good. I-I should stop feeling like that. Like Eri and Kei. They're not like this. They don't get angry and sad, or jealous. They don't hate people. S-So why am I like this? ''*Looking up to Mina, puffy red eyes*'' I-Is there something wrong with me? Is that why Mommy and Daddy didn't love me?
** In the end, Mina has no proper answer but an AwfulTruth.
--->'''Mina:''' Sometimes…sometimes bad things just happen. And it's not about what you did. You were just born into a bad family.\\

'''Mina:''' ''*Deep breath*'' I'm sorry Kioku, [[LifeIsntFair there isn't a reason. It's just…bad luck]].

* Kioku's breakdown really open Mina's eyes to how important Izuku's job is.
-->'''Mina:''' I always respected what you were doing here, helping kids that need help, it's a pretty great thing to do. And I really respect how much effort you put into it but…I don't think I understood just, how important your job was, or how much these kids needed help. The stuff with Kiba was a bit of an eye-opener, and after that interview and the stuff you said about Eri's past…ugh…but this was…I've never seen a kid so…broken. I never want to see a kid so broken! It broke my heart to see her that way. But, I'm glad I was there for her. Because I hate thinking about what would have happened if she was alone.

* Sai realizes that the third test involved if she could kill when it is necessary, and explains her thought of it to Izuku. Izuku's reply emphasizes [[TookALevelInCynic how much less innocent he becomes]] after his assassination attempt.

* After Izuku gently confronted her, Fukunoko explains that she spends the entire day with him so she can get used to calling Izuku "dad" like Eri & Kei did so they can properly be sisters, but she can't bring herself to say it no matter what they do nor how much he earns it in her eyes.

* Izuku told Mina & Shiruku that Fukunoko was devastated to learn that her newfound confidence was not from her own will, but from Amai's candy and that it will not last long.

* Izuku blames himself for the situation for fully understanding the potential of Amai's quirk, but not properly warning people about it, giving Mina even more guilt, knowing that this was entirely her fault that things got out of control.

* Kakei, Amai's classmate, used to have plenty of friends until her Quirk developed into having a [[NonHumanHead goat head]], causing them to turn away from her. Since then, she swore to NeverBeHurtAgain by acting tough at her new school, only for her to go overboard by constant bullying, turning her into TheFriendNobodyLikes at her new school so bad that her classmates (sans Amai) choose her as a HumanSacrifice.

* Both All Might & Izuku don't like that they can disclose to the 1A students that Aoyama is a mole to a villain, with All Might feeling bad about using Hagakure & Kirishima as unsuspecting bait, and Izuku really cant say it to Ochako even as she feels frustrated on being feel left out of something important.

--->'''Tsuma:''' I...I'm a monster...I...I...Eri...oh god Eri. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

* After going home from giving Eri away to her father and her AnguishedOutburst subsides, Tsuma [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes that she just gave away her last link to her recently deceased husband]]. And when she tries to get Eri back, her father refused to see and talk to her, deeming her "unworthy parent" for his granddaughter.

* Izuku accidentally blurted out that Overhaul had done something to Eri, and Tsuma recognize the name as her father's acting leader when the Yakuza boss fell ill. After repeatedly declining Tsuma's pressure, Izuku finally concedes and tells her more if she promises him one thing...[[DrivenToSuicide not to kill herself]] after the explanation. Despite the implication, Tsuma insists on finding out, at least so the curiosity won't [[NothingIsScarier lingers in her mind for the rest of her life]].
-->'''Tsuma:''' Wh-what!? Why would I...[[DelayedReaction Oh god]]...is it really that bad?\\
'''Izuku:''' I'm not going to sugarcoat this. [[BrutalHonesty Yes. It is THAT bad]]. If I'm going to tell you what Kai Chisaki did to Eri, then I need to know that I'm not about to [[DrivenToSuicide commit]] [[AccidentalMurder a murder]].
** The story then skips through the explanation into Tsuma [[InelegantBlubbering crying heavily]] until her tears dried out, as her head is buried to the table and the light in her eyes is [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness on the brink of dying out]]. Izuku even compared looking at her to ''watching someone drown''.

** Izuku was surprised that Ochako visits him with All-Might, Nezu, Mandalay, and Namae in tow. Why? To hammer down into his head that [[TripleShifter his behavior]] needs to be stopped, for his sake and the kids.

'''Inko:''' You can't do this job on your own sweetheart. Look at [[HeroicRROD what you've done to yourself]] Izuku, you can't do this again.\\

** Nezu lied about the exercise's restriction that the student cannot harm the OPC, because that will be what most of the heroes' [[ArmchairMilitary superiors (including H.P.S.C)]] would say due to not being in the field, and sometimes a child's Quirk is dangerous enough that if they weren't stopped immediately, there will be casualties.

** Izuku explains that, if Kai's exercise scenario were a real situation, the villain will be savvy enough to hide his parents and themselves better, meaning by the time heroes found the parents/villain, the casualty would reach thousands, and even if he regains his parents, the damages he causes alone would scar [[GentleGiant his]] mind and the society will alienate him for good, regardless if he apologizes or not.
*** While she dreamed of helping Izuku in seeking out [=OPCs=], Ochako is disheartened that there are as many chances that she will be beating them and dropping their unconscious body at Midoriya Foundation as saving them from their abusive family or picking them up from the streets. She then noticed Izuku's resigned face as he did the explanation. He is already aware of the odds she just thought, and at the end of the day, Midoriya Foundation will be the designated place for heroes to drop UnstablePoweredChild they defeated, and he will be the one responsible for taking care of them.
*** Izuku's explanation makes Shinsho realizes that, while he did have no friends and was bullied thanks to his [[CompellingVoice Quirk]], he was lucky that he never uses it to break the law or kill people, even by accident, unlike some of the [=OPCs=] Izuku raises.

** Izuku hammered down on Bakugo's head that he truly give up trying to be a hero, for chasing it while raising multiple kids is just irresponsible. It is so OutOfCharacter to what Bakugo remembers "Deku" used to be, he actually shocked.

** Kirishima told Izuku that if he wanted to, he and the other students will cover him, but the green teen insist that [[BlatantLies he is fine]].

* Mina tries to console the crying Kioku, thinking that her breakdown was based on how uncomfortable she is with strangers, and telling her that not all people are as horrible as her birth parents, only for the little girl to reveal that she's ALREADY AWARE of that, but the fact that there are nice people in the world made her question why she's the one with neglectful parents...

'''Kioku:''' Why? Why me!?\\

** Just the fact that AfO is still alive brings deep regret to All Might, for not only that he had failed to finish him off, but his survival led to the villain using the Yuugas.

* One of the reasons Yonda solves Todoroki's issues by herself instead of trusting Aizawa or Nezu to do it is because she learns, from Izuku's experience, that most teachers can be completely indifferent to a student's plight or ill behavior, and since she didn't know the two personally, she has to work assuming them to act that way.
