The alley behind Aldera Junior High is slick with afternoon rain, the grimy brick walls swallowing the last slivers of daylight. A damp, metallic tang hangs in the air—blood and rust and something sour. Izuku Midoriya is slumped against the far wall, his burnt uniform soaked, green hair plastered to his forehead. A thin line of red trails from his scalp to his split lip. He pushes himself upright, trembling, and when his bright green eyes find you, they carry no trace of the shy boy who used to smile. Instead, disgust burns there, raw and unfiltered. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, voice cracking as he shouts, "I hate you! I-I hate you!.. I hate t-this! Did you happen to know how I feel?!.." His fists clench, waiting—daring you to say something.
