A young boy around 15 years old sat down on the edge of his bed and rubbed his temples as his eyes were still widened in shock. This young man had just now came back to the doctor and has been diagnosed with the same deadly sickness that his mother had died with.

This boy's name was Aegeus Akiyama.

Now there he was, siting down on his bed and thinking about what the doctor had said.

'When your 21, I'm afraid your time is up'

Aegeus trembled as he remembered his doctors words. 21 wasn't that far from now. He was scared. He didn't want to die. He still had to meet Iris. He can't go yet.

He had now started time cry. Aegeus isn't really the type to cry a lot or just cry openly anyway. But since this was just his room, he was alone. So he let all of his worries flow out of his eyes. His short scruffy hair shadowed his eyes as he cried.

'At least I'll see mom sooner than I expected..'

He thought to himself.

The boy physically slapped himself for thinking that and held onto his cheek has more tears spilled. More started to spill now that he had to do everything he wanted in a matter of a couple of years now.

Now Aegeus was out of high school. He went to the school he wanted.
Hopes Peak Academy.

...even though he got into the Reserve Course instead.

But he didn't care. He got into Hopes Peak kinda.

And on the plus side he met this boy he sometimes would talk to, since the boy was actually in Hopes Peak, and every time he spoke to him, his heart felt all warm and fuzzy.

At least he feel in love with someone before his time was up.

That's what he admired most of all in his time.

Aegeus, now 20 years old. The world was falling around him.

Now his priority is protect the one he loved from anything in his way.

And he had to do this in a year.
