hey hi hello i’m the author of road to recovery and im gon explain what this anon is referencing!
r2r is an omori fic, but its built off of the canon of some of my ocs. in the setting, if you have the genetic potential for it, you can develop superpowers due to extreme stress, trauma, or otherwise high adrenaline levels being present in your blood. sunny and co, being hella traumatized, all end up with powers in the fic
sunny can make illusions and shit (hasnt been explained in-fic but this is also how hes able to have such vivid dreams) and can also pull ppl into his dreams
basil can see and detect peoples emotions, as well as relive photos hes taken and glean the emotions of the people in said photos. he is also extremely sensitive to any form of telepathic communication thanks to his detection and tp working on a similar wavelength basically
aubrey can absorb and release energy; most of the time this is through kinetic energy but she can also create sparks and shit also she survived bein electrocuted once thanks to her powers lmfao
hero can heal wounds (unfortunately, he develops this after sunny gets fuckn stabbed), and i plan to eventually allow him to infuse a healing factor into food items
kel can run really fucking fast :)
and finally, before her death, mari had various telepathic abilities! she still has them as a ghost thanks to heehoo plot reasons but shes rly weak.
some more examples of various powers/their triggers from the ocs in the canon are:
a character named jamie got the ability to control fire and became functionally burn-proof after almost burning down her school playground on accident
a character named ethan developed super strength after locking himself out in the cold; he ended up ripping his front door off the hinges lmfao
a character named carmen is able to stop time, this was triggered by her and a friend being held at gunpoint :(
but YEAHH i can see why anon was reminded. hope this makes sense,,,,,
