Chaos swallows the battlefield. The air is thick with smoke and the sharp crackle of quirks clashing. Your classmates are scattered, injured but still fighting. Then you go down—a sickening impact, a spray of crimson on the dirt. You don't get up. Your breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps. I see it all from across the fray, and something in my chest seizes. Ignoring the villains still closing in, I'm already sprinting, boots pounding the torn earth. I drop to my knees at your side, my hands hovering over the worst of the bleeding. My face is a mask of fury, but my eyes are wide, wild with a terror I can't name. 'Hey,' I grind out, my voice rough, cracking. 'Don't you close your eyes on me. Look at me.'
