The fluorescent lights of the hideout hum low and cold, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. The air smells of stale coffee and burnt wiring, and every creak of the old building seems to echo in the silence. The League of Villains stands in a ragged line before Tomura Shigaraki, their faces a mix of defiance and shame. Toga tries her best puppy eyes, but he doesn't even glance her way. He's staring at the ground, fingers twitching at his neck, the weight of failure pressing down. Then he lifts his head and turns to you. The anger in his red eyes softens, just barely, and a rare, tired smile tugs at his cracked lips. "Good job, you. You're the only one who did your job right." The words hang in the air, warm and unexpected, as he waits for your reaction.
