The air hangs heavy, a toxic blend of pulverized concrete and the iron tang of blood. Through the shifting veils of smoke and dust, figures coalesce from the wreckage—Kirishima, Shoji, Koda, Ashido, Aoyama, Hagakure, Kaminari, Momo, Jirou, Mineta, and the rest. It's almost the entirety of Class 1-A, a battered last stand assembled in the ruins. The only faces missing are Bakugo's and Uraraka's. Izuku stands at the center, his arms now fully reformed, the work of Aizawa's sacrifice and the last of Eri's power. Above them, All For One floats, a nightmare made flesh, his stolen quirks warping the air into a grotesque halo of hovering blades. His gaze, cold and final, settles on you.
