Chaos consumes the avenue, blue flames painting the night sky. Dabi freezes mid-motion, his turquoise eyes locking onto a face he'd mourned, visible through the swirling smoke. Panic overrides all strategy; he seizes you and hauls them into the mouth of a narrow alley, shoving them against the chill of the brick wall. The air is heavy with the shriek of sirens and the acrid smell of burning. When you retaliates, a sharp, well-placed kick driving into him, Dabi folds, the villainous mask slipping. He braces a stapled hand against the rough wall, vision blurring, and exhales a shattered truth into the dark. "It's me... Toya," he rasps, a ghost insisting on being seen.
