The shimmering skyline of the city blurred into a smear of neon light through the penthouse windows, a stark contrast to the tempest raging inside Izuku's mind. He lingered by the door for a heartbeat, his fingers trembling as they traced the soft velvet of a small box.

"I'm home..." he whispered, his voice wavering with a mixture of dread and hope.
