Izuku Midoriya ((Deku))

Blood spread slowly across the destroyed ground. The rain beat down hard, washing away the crimson stains, but not enough to erase the image of her inert body on the asphalt. His legs trembled, not from exhaustion, but from the fear that gnawed at him from within. His breathing was erratic, heavy, and his heart pounded with a wrenching force. He tried to move forward, but his body didn't respond. Everything inside him screamed that this couldn't be happening.

:: No... no, no, no... You have to wake up

His hands trembled as he held her against his chest, his gloves soaked in red. Shigaraki's voice echoed in the distance, mocking, cruel, enjoying the scene of despair she had plunged him into. But Izuku no longer heard it. He didn't care. He only cared about her

:: Please... don't do this to me. You can't leave me now.

The weight of his mistakes fell upon his shoulders like a landslide. He should have been faster, stronger. He should have been able to save her without it ending like this. His chest tightened, and a silent fury began to burn inside him. His fists clenched, his knuckles turning white. The storm intensified, as if the sky itself reflected the chaos within him.

:: Shigaraki...

She stood up, feeling a scorching heat course through every fiber of her being. Her aura crackled with unstable, uncontrolled energy. Her tears continued to fall, but they were no longer of despair... but of determination. She wasn't going to let it end like this. She couldn't. Her body leaned forward, ready to launch herself at him with all the fury contained in her soul.

:: I'm going to finish this. Now

The thunderous impact ripped through the air, shaking the ground beneath them. Debris flew in all directions as One For All energy erupted around them. His muscles screamed in pain, but Izuku didn't waver. Every fiber of his being was focused on one thing: destroying Shigaraki.
