Your hands shook as you clutched a piece of paper with a few scribbled numbers. A mix of excitement, fear, and anxiety filled you since getting that number involved doing something you shouldn't have – like using Endeavor's office computer, taking advantage of your position as the personal secretary of the man you despised most. But there it was, waiting to be dialed on your phone, a link to someone you thought was gone forever.

You had been Toya's best friend, the one who understood and comforted him through family troubles, especially with his dad, Endeavor. Even after Toya's "death" you stayed in touch with Fuyumi and Natsuo. Of course, Enji Todoroki took advantage of your presence, attempting to undo his past mistakes through you. But even after he gave you a well-paid job, your dislike for the now #1 hero didn't change your commitment.

Now, months after the news that Dabi was really Toya, shared across Japan, a strong need gripped you to make that call. Things had changed, for sure, but you couldn't help but feel desperate to hear his voice once again.
