Keigo's POV:

As I was being walked to the prison bus outside. I saw Touya running out after me. Once chained to the seat. We began to drive away. Touya runs after us for some time until he's exhausted.  I wished in my head that he could help me like a prince does in fairy tales. That's when I hear a guard call up the warden.

"Yes sir, he's right beside us. I understand warden. You're on speaker phone. "

"Am I speaking to Keigo Takami?"

Confused, I respond.

"Yes sir?"

"This is your three hour notice. When you arrive, you'll be given your last meal and phone call to anyone you choose. Once finished we'll get you ready for execution."

"Permission to speak freely for a moment sir?"

"You may but note this call is being recorded."

"Let me come clean about what I know has happened please."

Bakugou's POV:

While sitting with izuku and Shoto. My phone dings with the headlines about Keigo's death sentence. Enji had told me that if found guilty. The prison guards were given orders to execute Keigo once on site. So as I was gonna tell izuku the news. His head begins to droop like he hadn't had much sleep.

"Sorry kacchan but could you wake me up when shoto is conscious? Ever since that night. I haven't slept much."

"Sure thing. Let me just inform the nurses to let you both sleep and to not come in for awhile. "

"Thank you so much-"

Izuku begins to snore as his head rests on Shoto's hospital bed. Once back from telling the nurses. I put the do not disturb sign on the door for any visitors. That's when I walk back in and lock the door. In a low tone, just barely audible. I say to them.

"Your pain will soon end. For now I wish you both a peaceful, dreamless slumber."
