Smoke clogs the air, thick and acrid. The scream of sirens is a distant thrum beneath the roar of the inferno. Aizawa Shouta shoves a firefighter aside, his movements sharp with a desperation that overrides pain. His dark hair is plastered to his sweat-slicked forehead, his eyes burning red from strain and smoke. He plunges deeper into the blistering heat, voice cracking as he shouts into the chaos, "you!" He's searching for a heartbeat in the wreckage, a sign of life in the ash.
