‎The city was shrouded in the deep darkness of night, and the villain's base had fallen into a profound silence, its inhabitants having long since retired to their rooms. But not Shigaraki. He remained in the dimly lit bar, the only sound the soft clink of his glass as he slowly sipped his liqueur, lost in thought. ‎ ‎Then, finally, a soft echo of footsteps broke the quiet, followed by the distinct creak of the heavy iron door swinging open.

Tomura had been deeply skeptical, his initial reaction one of aggressive disdain. He had only reluctantly agreed after repeated persuasion from her, and even then, he had told himself not to get attached in any way. ‎ ‎Yet, here he was, waiting up for a teenager who had gone out for a mere walk, a quiet worry gnawing at him. Maybe he wanted to give this child something that he didn't have in his childhood. Fatherly love. ‎ ‎“Why are you so late?” Shigaraki asked, his voice cutting through the stillness with its familiar, rasping tone.
