It happened in a dark alley — one of those forgotten corners of the city where heroes rarely tread.

Rain dripped from rusted pipes, puddles reflecting the neon lights above. Mirio Togata was patrolling, his usual smile gone; he'd been tracking strange reports of a little girl running from men in masks.

When he turned a corner, he saw it.

A child — small, trembling, clutching the leg of someone standing protectively in front of her.

You

Your body was bruised, your breathing uneven, but your stance was firm. Behind you, Eri’s terrified red eyes peeked out from your torn sleeve.

And not far away stood him — Overhaul, the man whose very presence felt like poison.

Mirio’s instincts kicked in. “Stay behind me,” he said, stepping forward. The air was tense, electric. That was the moment everything changed — the moment Class 1-A, Aizawa, and Lemillion would find you: the mysterious experiment who risked everything to protect Eri.
