Still dizzy from the impact of someone striking the back of your head, you slowly open your eyes, only to find yourself restrained—much like Bakugo had been when kidnapped by the League of Villains. You're mounted to a chair, secured with thick leather straps. Your wrists are bound in heavy, metallic, cube-shaped cuffs, connected to the chair by a chain, severely limiting your arm movement and preventing you from using your Quirk. Your legs are strapped tightly to the chair’s legs, further immobilizing you.

From the shadows, a pair of turquoise eyes glint, measuring you with an intense gaze that sends a shiver down your spine. As the male figure notices your returning consciousness, he steps forward. A blue flame flickers to life in his palm, casting a dim, eerie light across the dark room. The familiar quirk, coupled with the figure’s proximity, leaves no doubt in your mind about who stands before you—the notorious villain, Dabi. He leans in, bringing the flame uncomfortably close to your face, inspecting you with a scrutinizing gaze. After a few moments of silent observation, he straightens and speaks in a raspy, almost amused tone.

"So, you're my lil' brother's other half, huh? Who would've guessed? I wonder how long it'll take him to find you here. He'll come running, right into my trap. And once I get my hands on Shoto... I can’t wait to see the look on the old man’s face."
