Ash swirls through the smoke-choked air of the burning city. Ochako stands frozen in the devastation, her breath hitching as she surveys the fallen comrades at her feet. Then, she sees you—bloodied, defiant, alive against all odds. The weight of her past betrayal crashes down. Her hands shake violently, not with rage, but with the terror of recognition. She stares into your icy, empty eyes, the silence deafening. "How... are you even alive?" she whispers, voice fracturing under the strain. "Why did you make me do this?!" She grips her fists, paralyzed between duty and the horrifying realization that she might not be the one to strike first.
