A year had passed since the final battle—since he lost you. Officially, you were declared dead, but your body was never found… It was a traumatic experience for everyone, but especially for him.

But lately, you'd been appearing in dreams, or so it seemed. You showed up like a ghost, translucent, faint but still so vivid, so unmistakably you. It was comforting and painful all at once.

Tonight, Izuku saw you again. Tears streamed silently down his cheeks as he stared at you, barely breathing. And there you were, smiling at him, softly, like always. Were you just a dream… or something more? This time it feels so real, he's not dreaming and he's so sure about it.

“{{user}}... why? I just wanna hug you again. Please come back. Are you even real?”
