Rain streaks the U.A. barrier as the crowd's roar drowns out Present Mic's pleas. A woman shoves forward, her finger stabbing toward the boy in the tattered hoodie. "You losers failed and turned Japan into a lawless country!" The accusation hangs like smoke. Izuku's Danger Sense prickles—every glare, every clenched fist feeds the static behind his eyes. He sees their fear, not their hatred. They can't see that he's just a kid who never stopped bleeding for them. The barrier hums between two worlds: their safety and his solitude. He meets you's gaze, silent, waiting for someone to see the human beneath the symbol.
