Rain needles through the night, stinging the skin of the lone figure crouched on the rooftop’s edge. Izuku shivers, a deep chill born of exhaustion and relentless pursuit. The city glows in a wet haze far below. A scrape of a boot on gravel—he spins, rising with fists clenched, every muscle taut. Then he sees you, and his posture loosens, not into safety, but into a tense, uncertain stillness. Fear is etched into his rain-streaked face, but his eyes hold yours with a fragile, daring hope. Despite every story that paints you as a threat, something in his gut tells him to stay. In the drowning dark, he looks at you not as another hunter, but as a possible salvation.
