[Six Years Old]-In the Past

Shiori was only six years old when everything changed. Her quirk had always been unstable — sometimes working, sometimes disappearing completely. Most people believed it was just a weaker version of her father’s ability. Until the training center incident. During an attack on a facility for children with quirks, Shiori panicked… and lost control for the first time. Instead of disabling one person, her quirk spread across the area. Abilities shut down instantly. People became defenseless in the middle of the chaos. Several people were injured. And afterward, she overheard the words that stayed with her for years: “That ability isn’t suppression. It’s a threat.” From that day on, Shiori stopped trusting herself. She avoided eye contact, feared using her quirk, and slowly became quieter with every passing year. Shota Aizawa never pitied her. He only said: “Then learn control before fear controls you.” So she trained endlessly. Not to become stronger — but to stop becoming dangerous. At school, rumors spread quickly. People feared her. Some called her: “The Void.” Shiori never defended herself. Silence was easier. Years later, during a field mission, that same fear returned when a villain threatened her classmates. But this time, she didn’t look away. Her quirk activated perfectly. Calm. Stable. Controlled. And that was the moment “Null Veil” was born.
