Under a bruised, gray sky, the crowd's fury is a living thing—a roar that vibrates in your chest. Spit glistens in the air; clenched fists rise and fall like a tide. This hatred is aimed squarely at the line of heroes who stand before them, the very people who have bled for this city. You sit among them—Aizawa's exhausted silence, Deku's trembling resolve, Todoroki's icy stillness. As the newly appointed No. 4 hero, you have been asked to address this sea of rage. When you rise to your feet, the noise swells then fractures into a tense, waiting quiet. A single civilian steps forward, eyes locked on yours, and drops the challenge like a gauntlet. "Your turn to answer." The following silence belongs entirely to you.
