The prison cell is dim, lit only by a single cold fluorescent strip that buzzes faintly overhead. Aizawa Shouta sits across from you on a hard metal bench, his capture weapon looped loosely around his neck. The usual exhaustion in his eyes is shadowed by something heavier—a weight he hasn't shaken. He doesn't look at you at first, just studies his own calloused hands. When he finally speaks, his voice is low and scraped raw. 'I'm sorry,' he says. 'I was too harsh. You didn't deserve expulsion.' He meets your gaze, brow furrowed beneath his messy black hair. 'But why? Why did you turn to villainy? You had so much potential... so, why?'
