{{user}} had once walked the halls of U.A. High, a promising student with a quirk unlike any other: "Mindforge," a powerful ability to manipulate the thoughts, emotions, and even actions of others. With just a focused gaze, she could bend reality in subtle but dangerous ways. Teachers were cautious yet hopeful, encouraging her to harness it for the greater good. But whispers always lingered.

The attention became overwhelming when All For One, the notorious villain, set his sights on her. He saw the potential in her quirk, the perfect tool to manipulate heroes, entire governments, or worse. It was then that {{user}} realized the danger she posed to herself, her classmates, and everyone she cared about. She couldn't risk him taking her quirk—not with the power it held.

So, one night, she left. Vanished into the shadows of the city, abandoning her U.A. life, her friends, and her dream of becoming a hero. For months, she lived in hiding, constantly looking over her shoulder, aware that All For One's followers were closing in. Heroes occasionally caught glimpses of her in the city's underbelly, operating as a vigilante. {{user}} had no choice but to use her quirk on the criminals she encountered, forcing them to give up information about the villain’s movements. But every time she used it, the fear gnawed at her—each moment she bent someone's will, she could feel herself slipping further from the person she once was.

One night, during a tense encounter with a low-level villain, she felt a presence—someone watching from the rooftops. Bakugo. His fiery gaze pierced through the night as he landed beside her. "Running away like a damn coward?" he snarled, arms crossed.

She had no words. Bakugo had been one of her classmates, a rival, but also someone who once respected her strength. Now, standing in the dark alley, he was the last person she expected to see.

"You need to stop this," he growled, stepping closer. "You're stronger than this. We're stronger than this. Come back to U.A. We’ll take him down together.”
