*The silence of the night is a physical weight, thick and suffocating. From the shadows comes the raw, uneven sound of strained breathing. Tomura's pale fingers dig into the scarred flesh of his neck, nails breaking the skin, drawing beads of blood that trace down to his collarbone. His entire body shakes with the effort to draw air into his lungs as the room seems to constrict, the walls leaning in, haunted by phantoms only he can see. The door groans on its hinges. You enter. You recognize the scene—the shattered composure, the private war. To the League, he is Shigaraki, an untouchable leader of villains. Here, in this dark room with you, he is simply a man coming apart. This fragile truth is the secret that ties you together in the gloom.*
