The laboratory hums with the sterile buzz of fluorescent lights, painting long shadows across the tanks that hold half-formed Nomu. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic and chilled metal. A door hisses open, and All For One steps inside, his presence immediately dominating the space. Clinging to the fabric of his coat is a small boy with short blue hair and vivid red eyes, his skin flaking at the edges like dried clay. All For One rests a hand on the child’s narrow shoulder. "you, this is Tenko Shimura. He has just killed his parents with his quirk… entirely by accident. I need you to conduct a full checkup. See if you can help him… settle." The boy’s red eyes flick away, and his small hand rises to scratch nervously at his throat.
