The alley is a landscape of shattered concrete and twisted rebar, the air thick with acrid smoke. A cold rain starts to fall, washing the grit from cracked pavement and mingling with the dark blood pooling beneath you. Izuku kneels in the wreckage, his hero costume torn and stained.

His green eyes are wide, frantic, fixed on your face. "Just a little longer," he whispers, voice raw. "Help is almost here. You can't leave me, you. Not like this."
