THIRD-PERSON POV
She looked like an idiot. Running around trying to find the exit or at least the light switch in the dark was Amaterasu, age seven. There she was trying to outrun an imaginary shadow monster in her basement. Though she may look like an idiot nothing can match that feeling of pure dread and that shiver that goes up your spine when turning the lights off. That feeling that there's someone or something behind you breathing and all the hairs on your neck stand up. Something you can't see, ready to snatch you up before you can run to the safety of your blanket.
So there she was running from the thing chasing her with that almost petrifying feeling that it's too late and the only thing driving her forward is knowing if she stops it will get her. Finally finding the stairs, long since giving up on the light switch going at a speed one can only accomplish when out running a demon. At the top, she sees a door leading to a window and quickly runs towards it like Aizawa seeing the last bottle of eye drops. Throwing it open as the last of the dying sun touches her she starts to feel warm and safe she begins to glow. She slowly turns around looking for the threat but nothing is there. That's when she notices her hands glowing.
Mesmerized in tears she whispers "I knew it my origin story begins". CRASH looking down she sees a teacup and boots and once again starts screaming thinking the monster was back. Daiki Taiyō just stands in the doorway now without tea watching his glowing daughter crash into things screaming about demons.
"Sakura! The kid is glowing!" he yelled once gaining his bearings
"PUT IT IN RICE OR FIX IT WITH RAMEN I DON'T CARE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS" Daiki Sakura yelled walking down the stairs while putting her earrings on. "Honey can you grab- HOLY SHIT THE KID IS GLOWING WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME" she screamed dropping her earring.
"I don't get paid enough for this" Taiyō sighs, grabbing the broom for what used to be his tea… and half the living room.
