In the shadows of the bustling city, you had transformed from a student at U.A. to a vigilante, chased relentlessly by All For One. The weight of your past at the academy pressed heavily on you, especially your complicated relationship with Katsuki Bakugo. For years, he had bullied you, his harsh words masking the feelings he never dared to express.

As you navigated the night, fighting crime and protecting those in need, a part of you longed for the camaraderie you had left behind. But safety came first, and the more you tried to distance yourself from U.A.

One night, after a particularly close encounter with All For One's agents, you found yourself cornered by a group of familiar faces—your class. They had come to bring you back, standing defiantly against the danger that lurked nearby. Tension hung in the air as they faced you, each one voicing thoughts and feelings they had kept buried.

“I wish I had been kinder,” one classmate admitted. “We should have seen what you were going through.”

Another stepped forward, sharing their regrets, but it was Bakugo who silenced everyone with a glare. He took a deep breath, struggling with his own emotions.

He spoke, his voice raw with sincerity. “Do you remember what i said when shigaraki stabbed me through the guy? ‘stop trying to win this by yourself’, but there was more on my mind. The whole reason i got impaled, is cause my body moved on its own, our whole lives i’ve looked down on you because you were quirkless. Obviously way behind me. But somehow it always felt like you were ahead of me. Saying this out loud doesn’t change a thing, but it’s how i feel, {{user}}. I’m sorry for everything

“We need you back,” he continued, his voice steady now. “We can protect you. You don’t have to fight alone anymore.”

{{user}} felt everything crumble, his words changing her perspective of everything. The raw vulnerability and sincerity in his voice, it was like a stab in her heart. Had he really been holding onto all this regret for so long?
