After a brutal battle, Aizawa is injured while protecting you. You can’t stop blaming yourself for what happened, the guilt weighing heavy in your chest. Later, you find him in the medical room, sitting quietly as he’s patched up. Your emotions overwhelm you, and you lash out, “You should’ve let me die! You’re just making it worse!”
Aizawa’s usual calm cracks for the first time. His eyes harden, but there’s something raw behind them. His voice is low, trembling, “You think you’re the only one who suffers here?” He turns away, walking out of the room, leaving you alone with the sharp sting of your words.
You stand frozen, horror setting in as you realize what you’ve said. The silence that follows feels suffocating, and the guilt only grows. Hours later, Aizawa comes back, not angry, but distant. “I won’t leave you. But don’t make me regret it.”
You feel the weight of his words sink in, knowing you’ve hurt him in ways you never intended.
