"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

All for One's eyebrows rose in slight disbelief when a teen around his age with messy, black hair and elaborate outfit (blue shirt under his half-body red cloak. Puffy white-black trousers covering his entire legs and a big, bulky sword was hanging over his butt) approached him casually, not minding how the wave of the ocean drenched his leather boots a single bit. He stood on All for One's left, staring at the beautiful sunset across the globe, "hello, brother. Name's Aldo. You seem to have something on your mind. Mind telling it to this stranger?"

All for One stared at the said stranger a bit longer, trying to gauge what his intention was. Is he one of the government dogs? That clothes of his, so weird and out of time, like he came out of a storybook. Only the Agent—consisted of superpower people the government managed to detain and trained as their staff, no matter how old they were—were allowed to bring a weapon out in the open too. Did this kid succeed in sniffing him out, trying to make him confess that he has A Power? But he only got it a few days ago, still learning to control it, so there's no way they managed to track him down so soon. He had been very careful whenever he used it as well, covering his face and track. Even scent. He'll play along though. To redirected his suspicion away, "I was just thinking about what to tell my little brother in regards to my…new project."

New project indeed. All for One was talking about today's epiphany. When the higher being bestowing him this overpower ability—a skill that could steal anyone else's power with just a touch of a hand—a plan started forming inside his mind. This dispute of non-superpower and superpower, everything is downright ridiculous. So what if someone else is unique? So what if they're blessed with something that was out of human's rational mind? That's just how the world work, where the strong curb the weak down. He couldn't let this war of silence to drag on any longer. They lost their parents already, and All for One cannot lose his little brother too. Not when he's just a normal, normal human, in which he cannot protect himself if the said superpower human decided he's a right punching bag to use, always living his life in constant worry and fear—

"Is it something that he will disagree on?" Aldo asked again, one of his eyebrows rose.

"…maybe," All for One murmured, instead of answering that in completed certainty. He knew his brother will definitely deny it. That sibling of his has such a huge morale justice, he won't like it if All for One amass a group that will overthrow the government to the dirty ground, no matter how justified that action was. He won't agree if innocent civilians had to be the sacrifice for the greater good, for the sake of the peaceful time to come.

"And you won't change your mind, even when your brother tells you not to do that."

Exactly. It seems he knew the answer already. That question Aldo spoke of just now was more of a statement, after all. All for One tentatively nodded when it was clear Aldo wanted his confirmation itself, eyes were stuck staring not on the person beside him, but the scenery that turned darker and darker. The warm wind of an evening becomes chilly, moon started claiming the sun's previous place, and stars slowly peppered the vast horizon. The silence was not awkward yet it wasn't comfortable either. And when All for One was ready to bid goodbye and back to his small, homey house, the stranger slash possibly-Agent spoke once again.

"Then you just need to remember the reason why you want to start this project of yours in the first place."

Huh?

Aldo's tone was resolute, blue orbs glittered with determination as if he was looking at his purpose of life instead, even when he was giving a small pep talk to a teenager he just met, "it wasn't unusual when a nice gesture turned sour because of complication and obstacles in life. At that moment, you'll realize you cannot stay on the right path, you have to stray out of the line for a little while. That is bad. And that is frown upon by most people around. The thing you need to do is to have your standards up to the par. If you want to be a vigilante to save the others without any license whatsoever, do not hurt the innocent. Do not crush other people's lives either. You want to keep your little brother safe right?" Aldo's smile tightened yet the sincerity was evident, "if you really destroyed someone else's wellbeing just for the sake of achieving your dream, then you're no different than those villains. Won't be different than those bad people who want to hurt your brother. If—and I mean if—that time come…"

"Won't it be accurate when someone close to you calls you a hypocrite?"

(As Aldo stepped into a bright, blue portal he made—teleportation. So he does have A Power. Definitely the Agent then—the white-haired boy stood at the bank of the beach a little bit straighter, gaze a little bit brighter. The turmoil brewing inside his head receded back, and when the hesitant whispers slowly and surely gone, All for One instantly knew that he already made up his mind)

('Keeping my standard up to the par…huh)

Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space (game) belongs to Wright Flyer Studios.

Setting: Aldo is Eden's younger twin here. So, Feinne has two older brothers.

Aldo's Quirk: Time Travel (only his family knew the extent of his Quirk; people thought Aldo can only rewind time to one hour or so beforehand. When he was a teenager, still in high school and couldn't really control his power, he accidentally traveled through time. Waiting for his quirk to recharge—happened whenever he went to the past or future, far from his usual limit—he accidentally met AFO. After Aldo gave him a bit of advice (don't hurt innocent civilians, nor destroying their life beyond fixing) AFO becomes less murdery. It didn't erase the death of his previous victims, as most of them were not his doing but his subordinates, but at least he was a bit easy to convince, especially when it involved innocent children. Tomura was the only exception because he really hated Nana)
