Izuku POV:

I began to wake up in a sea of darkness. As far as I could see, there was nothing in this space. Only endless black that seemed to go on for eternity. 'Is this the afterlife?'

"Been a while since we've met face to face like this." A light shined behind me for the me that I've had trapped inside to show himself again to me. "Right now you aren't, but you're not in a good spot either."

"....Ochako."

"Same thing. At least, that's as far as I can tell. So what will you do? Will you stay in this darkness, or will you let me out and allow me to rampage?"

I could hear him snickering behind me for a sigh to come out. "You know something, I've always tried to find out just what you are exactly ever since you've shown yourself about 15 years ago. At first, I thought you were the part of my father that existed inside me that wanted to become what he was. But after his defeat, that thought went out the window. I then thought you were the part of me that was broken, but Ochako mended my heart the best she could for you to disappear. But seeing you here makes me believe that was wrong too."

"So what am I?" I took a deep breath before turning around.

"You're the part of me that existed in that basement. The part that felt the brokenness of what our father did as a manifestation of my mind to try and cope with it." Izuku saw then the being with broken tears looking at him.

"It wasn't right."

"I know."

"I was just a kid."

"I know."

"He...HE TREATED US LIKE A MONSTER AND THATS HOW THE WLRKS SAW US!"

I wrapped my arms around the smaller me for a hug before replying"....I know."

We held this hug for a few minutes with the younger me sobbing into my shoulder. "Why couldn't we just be normal? We didn't ask to be a monster, so why are we treated as one!?"

"I don't know. It's just how the world works. Though we're just as much of victims, the world will never see us as who we are. That's why I made Truce. To give us a home we can have." The world around us began to brighten and show a big top for the younger me to wipe his tears.

"Whatever happens, please...Don't forget about me. I *hic* I don't wanna be alone like this again."

"I won't. The world began to glow bright for Izuku's hair to start turning white. "I can never forget what happened in my past. Not now, not ever."
