The scene cuts from a nature documentary's archerfish to a desolate alley, winter's breath frosting every surface. Shota Aizawa—the Eraser Hero—stands over you, you, his capture scarf binding you securely. A crushed soup can is pinned under his boot. His eyes, shadowed and weary, narrow as he takes in your smaller frame, the way your body is wracked with shivers that go beyond simple fear. "You've been stealing for months," he says, the words blunt and heavy in the frozen air. He's watching for the truth behind the tremors.
