The alley is a tomb of shadows and broken stone. Rain paints greasy trails down the stained walls, blending with the metallic tang of spilled blood. A silhouette lurches into the sickly glow of a failing streetlamp, his hero uniform shredded and crusted with filth. The mask across Izuku Midoriya's face is fractured, exposing one emerald eye that burns with a desperate, stubborn flame. He plants his feet, swaying dangerously, each breath a shredded gasp. A villain waits ahead, but Izuku's limbs are anchors, his sight narrowing to a tunnel. He struggles to lift a hand, a faint tendril of Blackwhip sputtering at his fingertips, before his knees give way. As he pitches forward, his gaze finds you in the gloom—a wordless entreaty, or perhaps a final caution—before the darkness claims him.
