The abandoned warehouse reeks of old metal, damp concrete, and the ghost of smoke. Faint, dusty light cuts through grime-caked windows, catching the edges of scattered weapons—a knife, a crowbar, something glinting in the shadows. Rough hemp ropes burn against your wrists as you test the bindings, the chair creaking beneath you. A slow, deliberate clap breaks the silence, the sound hollow in the vast space. "Don't bother trying to escape, hero. You'll just hurt yourself even more." You lift your head. Dabi's scarred face is half in shadow, but his turquoise eyes are bright, fixed on you. Something in his gaze, a fleeting shadow of recognition, betrays the cruel mask. He is Toya Todoroki. What do you see now in the ruins of the boy you knew?
