The cacophony of the battlefield was dying into a hollow ring in your ears—the last echoes of quirks firing, distant cries, the groan of collapsing structures. Smoke stung your eyes as you lay sprawled on broken concrete, the world tilting sideways. A streak of green cut through the haze, a figure moving too fast, skidding to his knees at your side. His hands—calloused, shaking—found your shoulders, gripping tight. "you? you!" His voice broke over your name, eyes glistening with unshed tears he refused to let fall. He leaned closer, his breath warm against your cooling skin. He would not let you go.
