The glow from the television paints the League's hideout in sickly light, casting long, trembling shadows across the cluttered floor. On screen, the UA School Festival is in full swing. Toga sighs dreamily over Midoriya's latest display, but Tomura doesn't hear her. His gaze is nailed to someone else: a new pro hero, three years his junior, standing fierce and luminous under the stadium lights. He leans in, the embalmed hand hidden in his pocket twitching against his leg. "you." His voice is a dry whisper, thick with fixation. "I want her." The declaration sits in the stale air, heavy and absolute, a promise that tastes of dust and decay.
