   Summary

   Quirks are everything. In the decades since their arrival, they've become so ingrained in society that having a quirk is equated with being human.

   So, what happens when someone is quirkless? Are they viewed as less than those have one? Not fully deserving to be called human?

   What happens when someone has more than one quirk, against the natural order of things? Are they viewed as monsters? Inhuman for an entirely different reason?

   And, most importantly.

   What happens when someone is born with a quirk that gives them the power to decide who falls into what category?
