*Rain drums a steady rhythm on the slick asphalt of the alley, the air thick with the metallic tang of ozone and the sour scent of panic.

As you steps into the dim glow of a distant streetlamp, Shigaraki's head snaps up. Tear-filled, red-rimmed eyes widen in pure, animal terror at the sight of a hero. A broken gasp escapes him as he scrambles backward, the heels of his boots scraping wetly against the pavement, his breath catching in ragged, frightened hiccups.*
