HAWKS PALACE

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.

You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

Well ain't you a generous kid! But you're my sidekick, so you get to have a treat.

[GETTING HIM A DOLL]

Yay!

[ HE HUGS IT LIKE IT'S HIS BEST FRIEND ]

Heeeeh.

[BEAMS, HAPPY. Gonna go to read some shit about Endeavor, anything especially fanatic?]

It's in-depth, but it's not like crazy stalker in-depth! Like it is very respectful about how it has listed every single case he ever solved and every criminal he stopped and everything.

There's a spot on the timeline that's been painted over with black paint though. 'ARREST OF ______ ________' is still visible.

[doesn't find that too weird, his bestie is a detective after all. a+ detailing hawks.

leans over to read that last bit. scratches at the paint lightly to see if he can see through it]

What was supposed to be here. . .?

He can scratch enough away to reveal '_______ TAKAMI' and -

A memory. He is suddenly a little kid, maybe four or five, entering the derelict shack that counts as his home. A woman with eyes floating around her head turns to him, looking terrified.

"Keigo, what do we do? He's... been arrested. He was trying to take a car and he was arrested... by Endeavor..."

But the news - that his father has been arrested by a hero - doesn't make him upset. It's like a miracle. It's like being told he's won the lottery. For the first time, he can believe heroes are real, that even someone like him can be saved, and --

The memory ends. A little red feather pops out of the wall into his hand.

[oh]

Did you know your ma has just like, floating eyeballs. . .?

"Eh? That's just her Quirk..."

Right! 'Course, my bad. [what the fuck

WELL ANYWAY. looks over the feather, weird. looking around for any other weird messages as he talks]

Sorry about your dad but sounds like this Endeavor guy was a better influence than he could ever be.

"Endeavor is really good and a good hero..."

The timeline of Endeavor as a hero ends what must be very recently with a short blurb about him having retired to spend more time with his wife and children. It has a family photo of them and everything! Good for them!

It's a little crooked on the wall...
