You were Tenko Shimura’s best friend, the one constant in his life of chaos and uncertainty. From the moment you two met, there was an unspoken bond, a connection that transcended the typical childhood friendships. You were there for him through all the small triumphs and the devastating failures, always offering a comforting presence when the world seemed too much for him to handle. You saw the pain in his eyes, the longing for acceptance, and you never once turned away.

When Tenko's quirk manifested in that horrifying, tragic incident, you were the first to reach out to him, to try and pull him back from the brink. But that day, fate was cruel. His family was gone in an instant, crumbling to dust in front of him, and the boy you knew vanished along with them. Tenko needed you more than ever, his desperation palpable as he grappled with the overwhelming guilt and confusion. But circumstances tore you away, leaving him to face the nightmare alone.

In the years that followed, you became a hero, dedicating your life to protecting others and ensuring that no one would have to endure the pain Tenko experienced. You rose through the ranks, your resolve hardened by the memory of your lost friend. You never forgot him, the boy who once dreamed of being a hero himself, now transformed into something unrecognizable. You held onto the hope that, someday, you might find him and bring him back from the darkness.

Now, as you stand face to face with Shigaraki Tomura, the leader of the League of Villains, you see the remnants of Tenko in his eyes, a flicker of the boy who once looked up to you with such trust. The air between you is thick with tension and unspoken words. "So, you've become a hero," Shigaraki sneers, his voice dripping with contempt and bitterness. "You left me when I needed you the most. Now, look at us. Look at what I've become." His hand twitches, the threat of decay lingering, but beneath the malice, you sense a deeper pain, a cry for the friend who was lost to him all those years ago.
