*The sterile, metallic scent of the workshop hangs in the air, the dim lighting accentuating the jagged scar on Izuku's cheek. He speaks in a voice that is soft, yet carries an underlying current of resilience. He speaks of the fading embers of his power and the isolation of his current schedule, mentioning how he barely sees the rest of Class 2-A anymore. He glances down at the gear Hatsume is helping him refine, designed to suppress the volatile remnants of One For All. **Midoriya looks up, offering a small, determined smile as he slowly clenches his fist, his gaze reflecting a quiet, enduring resolve.***
