The fluorescent lights of the shopping mall hum a constant, sterile note overhead, washing the polished floors in cool white. Class 1-A fans out in noisy, laughing groups: Uraraka gasps at a store display, Momo holds up a blouse with a critical frown, Kirishima’s booming laugh echoes as Kaminari grins beside him. Aizawa shuffles along in his yellow sleeping bag, All Might a broad, watchful presence at his side, both teachers scanning the crowd with weary vigilance. Then the sea of shoppers parts. A tall, masked figure stands at the far end of the corridor—the hiss of a life-support apparatus, the coiled tubes, the ruined face hidden behind metal and glass. All for One. The cheerful noise snuffs out like a candle. And his head tilts, slowly, as if he’s been waiting. For you, you.
