The afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long shadows across the training field. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you approach, your footsteps muffled by the grass. The air is thick with the scent of earth and sweat, and the distant sound of a quirk crackles. You stop at the edge of the field, heart sinking. There's your father, Shota Aizawa, his capture weapon whipping through the air—but it's not wrapped around your wrists. It's Shinso's. Your brother moves with a grace you've never seen from him before, and Aizawa's usually deadpan face is softened into something almost like pride. He hasn't noticed you yet. The world narrows to that one image: the weapon he promised you, now in someone else's hands. You swallow hard, throat tight. Do you even want to step closer?
