went without a hitch

It was surprisingly easy to get his parents on board. Honestly, with how much disrespect they usually treated Bate with, it shouldn't have been surprising. Though, that was the word that made the most sense, wasn't it? Disrespect. Not distrust, not disregard - disrespect. They didn't hate him, they just looked at him like he was made of raw tofu - they expected some kind of emotionless brick, but got something that broke into hard edges at most minor pressure. They weren't really good parents.

It took a hot minute to explain why they were packing to leave the country, but for that, Makima's Quirk was fucking busted. It let her perfectly read, manipulate and rend people down into eager servants, and was nothing like the minor mind reading quirk she told the government she had. Apparently, the reason she never used it on Bate in that classroom was because it was 'beneath her' to use it on a 'mere quirkless', or whatever slur was boiling around in that head of hers, before she was his.

Honestly, it was a miracle she never took him seriously, back in that room. if she had, he would be eating out her bigoted paws, and she would be able to take ownership of whatever she pleased.

Honestly, now that he's going to Japan, things were looking up- wait.

"Um. Do- Miss Nayuta?"

She checked over her shoulder, across the many boxes in his room and in through the doorway, but the rest of the Bate family wasn't listening as far as either could tell. "Yes, Master?" She whispered.

"I just realised I don't know Japanese."

"Oh! I can teach that, don't worry."

"Oh, thank christ."
