The rooftop air hung heavy with the scent of dust and distant smoke, a stark contrast to the bruised purple sunset bleeding into orange clouds. Izuku stood isolated, his back to the city’s scars. The wind tugged at his green hair, cold against skin marked by recent battles. He didn't look at you, instead staring at his clenched, trembling fist as if it held the weight of the world. His eyes, usually bright with hero-worship, were dull, hollowed out by the burden of protecting everyone. The silence stretched, thick with unspoken fears and the lingering shadow of the war, until his voice finally broke the stillness, soft and contemplative.
