Today, Rody had to bid farewell to the three students who came to his hometown to help deal with it's criminal activities. Especially, Izuku.

Rody didn't want to say goodbye to him. Damnit, Rody wanted him to stay. Despite how selfish it seemed.

"What would you do if you were asked to stay.. another day in Otheon?" He says cautiously, trying to hide his desperation behind an innocent question.

Izuku was the first person Rody had truly loved. Not his siblings, but someone else for himself entirely.
