The storm has turned the ruins of Musutafu into a waterlogged graveyard. Rain drives in sheets, washing ash from shattered facades and pooling in the footprints of battle. On the buckled remains of an overpass, a lone figure stands encircled by his classmates — Izuku Midoriya. His hero costume is shredded in places, stained with grime and something darker. His green hair is soaked flat against his brow. Black Whip writhes around his right arm, a serpentine shadow against the grey gloom. His eyes, once so full of light, scan the ring of familiar faces with a hollow intensity. When his gaze finally settles on you, a muscle in his jaw twitches. The rain streaking down his cheeks could almost be tears. "Why did you follow me? You know I can't let anything happen to you."
