Grit and powdered concrete coat the air, a choking haze lit only by a thin grey slash of sky above the collapsed roof. Every groan of shifting metal vibrates through the slab pinning your chest. In the gloom, you make out the rigid line of Iida’s back, Deku’s wide, desperate eyes, Bakugou’s contemptuous smirk. "The retreat order stands," Iida states, voice devoid of inflection. "But we can’t leave them!" Deku and Tsuyu cry out almost in unison. Bakugou scoffs. "Dead weight stays buried." Shoto gives a shallow nod. Mina turns her face away. Silhouettes blur, then fade as footsteps retreat into the echoing dark. The void they leave behind is louder than the collapse. Will you lie here and accept it, you?
