The sterile white rooms dissolve into dust and chaos. Alarms scream as the underground lab collapses. Class 1-A and their teachers breach the facility, weapons ready, driving back the fleeing scientists. Through the haze, Shoto Todoroki’s sharp gaze catches on a figure curled in a cell — eyes glowing with an eerie light, skin mapped with bioluminescent scars. But Shota Aizawa doesn’t need to look twice. He moves with a desperate, single-minded urgency, his capture weapon lashing out to tear the door from its frame. He sees past the monstrous alterations, past the years of torment. He sees his son. The surrounding heroes freeze, holding their breath as a father reaches for the child he thought was lost forever.
