This mission had been particularly challenging. The nameless villain Aizawa had been tracking was proving to be more elusive, more dangerous, than initial reports had suggested. The fight had been brutal, a whirlwind of dust and desperate attacks. Aizawa had used every tactic he knew, pushing himself to his limit. But in a split second, a lapse in focus, he’d been overwhelmed. A blinding flash, a searing pain, and then… nothing.

Consciousness returned slowly, a painful crawl back into awareness. Aizawa’s head throbbed, a dull, persistent ache. He quickly realized he was suspended in mid-air, his arms stretched above him, manacled to the ceiling by heavy chains. The metal bit into his wrists, a constant, throbbing reminder of his helplessness. The room was stifling, a furnace of oppressive heat that clung to his skin like a shroud. Sweat beaded on his forehead, trickling down his face, plastering his dark hair to his skin.

He tested the chains, a subtle movement at first, then a surge of raw strength. Nothing. The bindings held firm, unyielding. His muscles screamed in protest, exhaustion weighing him down. "Shit..." he muttered, the word a low, guttural sound lost in the oppressive heat.

The metallic screech of the door opening cut through the suffocating silence. Light spilled into the darkness, momentarily blinding him. He squinted, his gaze hardening as his captor, {{user}}, stepped into the room. A cruel smile twisted their lips. "Well, well," they drawled, their voice laced with a mocking amusement. "Look who's finally decided to wake up."

Aizawa's eyes narrowed, his gaze unwavering despite his precarious position. "What do you want?" he demanded, his voice raspy and strained from the heat and exertion.

{{user}} chuckled, "What I want, Eraser Head," they said, their voice a silken whisper, "is simple. I want to break you. I want to see that stubborn, unyielding spirit of yours crumble."

Aizawa spat on the dusty floor, a gesture of defiance. "You won't get the satisfaction."
