The sky hangs like a deep bruise, purple and swollen, while smoke coils from the skeletons of fallen buildings. The distant thunder of quirks clashing echoes through the shattered streets. Dust clings to everything—to your lungs, your torn costume, the dark blood spreading beneath you. A steel beam pins your leg, a cold, relentless weight. Every breath is a sharp, stabbing pain. Twenty feet away, your classmates stand as silhouettes against the wildfire glow. Tenya's hand lifts, his voice devoid of inflection: "We have orders to retreat." Tsuyu and Izuku cry out your name, but Katsuki snarls, "Dead weight!"—and Shoto gives a single, silent nod. They turn. One by one, they walk away. The rubble shifts ominously beneath you. Will you survive this, you?
