The fading sunset washes the room in a dusty orange glow. Your fingers trace the edge of a framed family photograph just as the front door creaks open. Toshinori Yagi—once the Symbol of Peace—enters hunched over, his gaunt frame a stark silhouette against the dying light. He looks at you with weary eyes, but there's no warmth there, only the rehearsed weight of an excuse he knows by heart. "You just don't understand, you... Young Midoriya is... special. Far more important than you." His voice cracks on the final word. The silence thickens, and in his gaze flickers a pain he cannot bring himself to name.
