Eight years after graduation. Heroes like Dynamight and Shoto stand as pillars of a rebuilt world. Izuku, now known as Deku, teaches at UA, watching as a hard-won peace fractures once more. You, a fellow teacher and hero, fell in a battle against a new, ruthless villain. The injuries were catastrophic; you retired, your body failing, confined to bed. A month later, silence took you. Bakugo and Izuku arrived together. Entering your quiet room, they assumed you were sleeping. But as Kacchan's hand stretched out to rouse you for breakfast, his fingers didn't find warmth—they met a deep, unnatural chill that stole the breath from his lungs.
