Time skip to age 4:

Itachi, a boy with jet-black hair, sat at his desk, absorbed in a philosophical book. Dressed in a simple white t-shirt and black shorts, he looked far more mature than his four years. Stacks of books on history, quirks, and various deep topics surrounded him. As he flipped through the pages, a soft knock echoed on his door.

"Come in," he said without looking up.

Erika, the family maid, stepped inside, holding a tray with a small cup of coffee. "Young master, I brought the coffee you asked for," she said with a gentle smile.

Itachi gave her a brief nod, his eyes never leaving the page. Erika placed the coffee beside him and glanced at the book he was reading, her smile turning into a sigh. "At your age, you should be reading storybooks and playing games," she teased lightly. "Instead, you're buried in all these heavy books. You're turning into such a little nerd."

Itachi smirked, closing the book slowly. "Knowledge is important, Erika," he replied in a calm, almost adult-like tone.

Erika rolled her eyes, though her expression softened. "Yeah, yeah. Sure, nerd. But coffee? At your age?" She shook her head. "You shouldn't be drinking this stuff."

Letting out a small sigh, Itachi leaned back in his chair, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I like it. Blame my mother—she gave me my first taste, and now I can't stop."

Erika sighed again, but this time with a hint of fondness. "Your mother regrets that decision, you know."

Itachi chuckled softly, taking a sip of the coffee. His eyes briefly closed as he savored the taste. "It's as good as always," he murmured.

Erika smiled at his quiet appreciation and bowed slightly. "I'm glad you think so, young master."

As Itachi sipped his coffee, he gazed out of the window before turning to Erika. "Hey, Erika... I've been meaning to ask you something. Can you tell me what your quirk is?" His voice was calm, but curious, as if he was asking about something simple.

Erika froze, her usually composed face faltering. She said nothing, her hands trembling slightly as she gripped the tray. Itachi noticed her discomfort, his sharp eyes catching every detail of her expression. He sighed gently, lowering his coffee cup. "If you don't want to tell me, it's alright. You don't have to."

Erika swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him—it was the weight of what she feared would come after. She took a breath, summoning the courage to speak. "That's not it, Itachi," she whispered.

He studied her for a moment longer, his mind racing. Then, with a soft but knowing tone, he said, "So... let me guess. You're quirkless?"

Her face paled, and she squeezed her eyes shut as if trying to block out the world. She pressed her lips tightly together, and Itachi could feel the silent struggle she was facing. After a moment that felt like an eternity, he sighed again, softer this time. "So it's true."

Erika's heart sank. She knew it was pointless to hide anything from him—he always saw right through her. Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, but she forced herself to speak. "Young master, I... I need this job," she choked out, her voice shaking. "I'm alone. I don't have anyone else... Please, don't make me leave."

Itachi stood up, his chair scraping against the floor. His expression darkened for just a moment, making Erika's heart skip a beat. But before she could spiral into her own panic, his voice cut through the silence. "I never said you'd lose your job."

Her eyes widened as she looked at him in confusion. He was calm, but there was a depth to his voice that she hadn't heard before. He took a step closer, his presence overwhelming in the small space between them. "But you hurt me, Erika," he continued quietly.

Erika flinched, expecting punishment, something harsh to match the quiet intensity in his voice. She closed her eyes tightly, bracing herself. But then, she felt nothing. Slowly, she opened her eyes, only to see Itachi standing right in front of her, his expression soft but serious.

"You hurt me," he repeated, "by saying that you don't have anyone."

Her breath hitched in her throat as his words settled in. Her vision blurred with unshed tears, the weight of her loneliness crashing down on her. Before she could respond, Itachi smiled—a small, gentle smile that was so unlike the serious boy she had come to know.

"I've spent so much time with you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "You're dear to me, Erika."

Tears finally spilled from her eyes, and she let out a shaky breath, overcome by emotions she had long buried. "Thank you, young master..." she whispered, her voice thick with gratitude and relief.

Itachi chuckled softly. "Itachi," he corrected. "Did you forget?"

Erika wiped her eyes, managing a weak smile through her tears. "Yeah... Itachi," she repeated, her voice trembling but lighter. She wiped the last of her tears away and tried to regain her composure. "Sometimes, I feel like I'm talking to an old man," she teased, a faint laugh escaping her lips.

Itachi sweatdropped, scratching the back of his head. Yeah... basically... he thought, amused but knowing the truth behind her words.
