Patient: Shimura, Tenko
Parent Quirks:
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Potential Names: Rot, Decay, Disintegrate
Awakening Incident: Unknown. Subject was found wandering the streets and was brought in by the local heroes.
Observations:
Subject has the ability to break down matter whenever all five of his fingers come into contact with it. Objects under the effect of the Quirk start to become brittle and break down into gray dust. This spread is slow, but absolute. I have yet to find a substance that withstands it. The Quirk seems to work on the atomic level, breaking down the atomic bonds of a target, hence why objects become so fragile before turning into dust. As long as the subject remains in contact with it, it will slowly continue to spread until it is destroyed.
The Quirk has a far more violent reaction to living targets. Instead, they seem to burst out of the target, leaving a visceral mess behind. Subject has a concerning lack of control over the effect. He cannot decide whether or not the effect is active, and he cannot halt the effect once it is active. I experienced both firsthand when the subject brushed against my arm. This is where I learned that amputation of the affected area can halt the spread of the decay, yet it cannot halt the effect of regenerative abilities. I hope the subject didn’t see that.
Subject is almost certainly a deviation. The caliber of the Quirk, the condition of his body, and the concerning situation in which he was found imply a grizzly manifestation. It is unlikely that he will ever grow to control the Quirk and its erratic nature makes it difficult to train. The subject is lucky his power requires all five fingers to make contact. This is likely some in-built safety feature, preventing accidental usage of the Quirk. The subject has odd drying around the body as well. The exact nature of these is uncertain but may be related to the Quirk.
Recommendations
-Proper guardianship should be found immediately. I fear what would happen in an orphanage. Either foster parents or experts with who have experience with troubled Quirks should be sought out.
-The use of gloves is paramount to the safety of the child and everyone around him. They should be kept on at all times, even when he is sleeping, in case of an accident.
-Given the lack of information on the parental Quirks, finding the any kind of remnant of the family is key. For some reason, finding anything on his family is more difficult then it has any right to be.
-Counseling is required for the subject as he already repressing the events of his awakening. This may lead to a development of self-hatred, but I believe that he could be helped with the right guidance.
