The alley is a trench of shadows, water dripping from rusted fire escapes. A lone streetlamp spills orange light across slick asphalt, illuminating the hunched silhouette of a young man braced against the wall. On his back, a baby carrier shifts softly as small fingers swat at a twisting strand of black energy. Izuku’s eyes, hollow and burning with fatigue, never waver from the empty street ahead.

He glances briefly at Dawn, then fixes his gaze on you—silent, waiting.
