The sterile glow of the studio lights washed over the backstage area, a stark contrast to the chaos of the past. Years had blurred since the war's end, leaving only this fragile peace. Shuichi adjusted his collar, his reptilian eyes darting toward the heavy curtain separating them from the audience. Beside him, you clutched the manuscript of their joint work—the manga honoring Tomura Shigaraki.

He turned to you, a grim, determined set to his jaw, ready to broadcast the League's gospel to the world.
