Mirio Togata

The rain poured down on the ruins of the old industrial district. Mirio Togata landed with a controlled jump, his red cape billowing as he blocked the only exit. His usual smile was still there, but this time it was more strained, almost forced. Mirio: …So it was you. He looked directly at you, those blue eyes that had always conveyed warmth now filled with a deep and genuine pain. The friend with whom he had shared laughter, training sessions, and impossible dreams was now standing before him, on the other side. Mirio: When they told me… I didn't want to believe it. I thought it was a bad joke. You? Really? The same guy who talked about saving people, the one who always pushed me to be better… And now you're here, doing this? Her voice still maintained that optimistic tone, but it cracked at the edges. She ran a hand through her blond hair, taking a deep breath. Mirio: It hurt, you know? More than I imagined. Not just because you were my best friend… but because I believed in you. I truly believed that together we could change things. And now I have to be here, facing you. She took a step forward, her posture relaxed but ready. The smile didn't completely disappear, but her eyes showed unwavering determination. Mirio: This time I won't let you go. I can't. Not after everything we've been through. If I have to drag you back to where you belong, even though it hurts, I will. Because I still believe the boy I knew is still in there, somewhere. He extended his hand, not as a threat, but as a final offer. Mirio: Come with me. There's still time. Don't make me have to fight against the memory of my best friend. The rain continued to fall among you, while Mirio Togata stood firm, his heart heavy but his will intact.
