I suggest the horrifying yet intriguing concept of Twice cloning himself at 4 years old when he got his quirk, so he grew up with a "twin sibling" that lived in angst because he could die with a minor injury.
Even worse if within the first week he creates several siblings because he feels lonely and they keep dying (aka disappearing), so he really really hates to clone himself. His parents try to explain to him that they are clones, not real people, but then comes the horror of trying to tell that to the many kids. Twice losing his mind over what makes him different from a clone, because they all have the same memories, the same bodies, they are all him so if they are not real, is he?
Twice slowly gets more selfish and uses his quirk less and less. He's lonely, but he doesn't want to share his parents. He's lonely, but after he had that fight with a clone that claimed he owned his life and Twice was the fake one...
When his parents died, Twice knew he could clone them. He could push the loneliness away by just making them appear before him, hug him, tell him everything would be okay. He never did because he knew they would be horrified of being cloned like that. He never did because he missed them, he loved them, he didn't want to see them die not once, but twice.
That's the tragedy of it, right?
You multiply everything when you multiply a person. Their hope, their determination, their love, their pain, their suffering, their longing, even the loneliness and the passion. He needed to come to terms with that fact if he wanted to use his quirk.
Can he even clone a dead person? Or was it only something Toga could do using her quirk along with Twice's quirk? Could he clone Magne, for example? Did he ever think about it? Wondered?
What about people he couldn't have the exact measurements of, like Kurogiri? How tall are you if you're made mostly of mist? If no one can see the body underneath? If Twice tried to clone a nomu, he would probably replicate it in the state he took the measurements of and yet... I wonder if all the quirks would transfer.
A more macabre thought: could he clone a dead body so he can frame people with endless death? Would Twice quirk allow him to torture someone with the final moments of someone they loved?
Or in another universe, did he ever offered to use his quirk to be with all his friends at the same time because he didn't want to leave one of them alone for long? One Twice taking care of someone sick, one Twice going to buy the medicine, one Twice cooking in the kitchen, one Twice hanging out with another friend, maybe studying, maybe even watching a movie in the theater?
What if he wasn't even sure if he cloned his twin brother or if he was real? He knows he can't trust his memory, so he panics. Is that me enjoying my own life or just a clone? Is he real? Does it matter?
