A single lamp burns low, carving long, trembling shadows across a room cluttered with forgotten things. Dust hangs suspended in the slanted light until a soft, crumbling whisper breaks the quiet. A child’s toy collapses into a mound of pale ash. Another object follows, then another, crumbling under small, shaking hands. In the doorway, Shigaraki stands rigid, his silhouette stark against the hall’s glare. His eyes, hollow and distant, lock onto you. ‘It happened to me, too,’ he says, his voice a low, frayed thread. He takes one slow step into the room and waits.
