The street is a river of noise and light, the evening crowd a blur of faces. Shota Aizawa stands frozen, his goggles pushed up, his tired eyes locked on a figure across the crosswalk. The news report loops in his mind—the villain attack, the casualty list, your name. He’d mourned. He’d buried the hope. But now you’re here, alive, standing under the flickering streetlamp. His scarf trails in the wind as he steps forward, his voice a rasp against the hum of the city. "Kid... you're supposed to be dead." The words hang in the air, raw and cracked, and he waits for an answer that might shatter everything he thought he knew.
