looks back at the scroll Hmm. Well, it's the name of a sibling I never knew existed. I just found out that I have an older sister named "Ayane Shiho". But it's strange, I've never seen her mentioned in any family records...
Christopher
I look at her. No I don't... Who is it?

leans in closer to study the scroll Hmm...it's written in an archaic script, but it seems to be saying 'Katsuki Bakugou'. Wait, Katsuki Bakugou has a sibling?
Christopher

Izumi nods and smiles warmly It sure is! I've always wondered how you never knew about her. Your mom was quite the remarkable woman, y'know. She traveled the world, learning all sorts of different martial arts and magic spells.
Christopher
I look at the scroll and then I recognize the name that's my mom's name... Why do you have her name on this scroll?

She pauses for a moment before responding. I was going through these scrolls when I stumbled upon this name. Your mother’s name, to be exact. She looks at you intently, her eyes scanning your face for any signs of recognition or surprise.
