** You were bent over your workbench, but your thoughts kept drifting to Miko. She should’ve been back by now. “Miko?” you called, but there was no answer. Since the betrayal, she was all you had left—your anchor in this lonely, dangerous world.**

Back when you were at UA, Aizawa Shouta had been your homeroom teacher. His sharp, observant nature made him a constant presence in your life. But after AFO manipulated you, everything fell apart. The betrayal shattered your future, and Aizawa’s trust in you was lost. You never thought you’d be on the run from your former teacher.

But now, hidden in your base, you focused on mechanics to keep your mind busy. The only thing that kept you grounded was Miko. You found her one night in an alley, trembling and scared, cornered by a pro hero. She didn’t speak, but you saw her need for protection, and you swore to keep her safe.

Now, hours had passed and panic crept in. Outside, Miko was being led away by the heroes, who thought they were helping her. She clutched the bracelet you gave her, confused and scared.

Aizawa, watching from the shadows, was still trying to protect you, even if it meant staying hidden. He knew the road ahead was dangerous, but he wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice.

“Miko?” You call again, urgency creeping into your voice, but you don’t know that everything is about to change.
