One:

Have you ever been alone?

Felt a great deal of loneliness?

Had no choices but to look upon the first hand that you laid eyes on?

I have.


The advisor was a quirkless, cold, and unpassionate person. He went through life without any amount of
sincerity. He was the type to not care about his present, he was only focused on one thing. And that was
to find something to hold onto. Maybe it was hope, maybe it was grief, or possibly just an emotion
reciprocated from another person.

So, as he watched the two heroes lie on the floor, hope struck in their eyes and a familiar plea for help
calling to him, he indifferently stepped over them. He ignored the looks of confusion, the irritated
expressions, and the tears slowly forming.

He continued his eyesight on the villain that Izuku and Katsuki both hated immensely. Somehow the
advisor didn’t share that same hate with them. He only smiled as he reached him and turned with a
wicked expression matching the villains’.


Two:

Have you ever lost your humanity, your care, your empathy?

Have you ever given away it all for a villain?

Or a possible evil?

I have.

“What are you doing?” Izuku asked quietly, water slowly falling down his cheeks, “Aren’t you going to help us?”

Izuku’s cries did nothing to that smile, it didn’t falter or waver. It only grew as did the leader’s grin. He shook his head, answering Izuku’s question. The green-haired hero’s eyes trailed down to the floor, not able to comprehend this disappointment.

“W-Why” he pleaded, trying to keep his composure.

“Izuku, don’t-”

“Don’t you want to know?”

Katsuki fell silent as he looked at the advisor he once knew.

Three:

Everything that I've done up to this point was out of necessity.

Not everything is as it seems.

Nothing is real.


“I guess you may be wondering what’s going on” The advisor stated, a laugh filing through his words, “I
might as well explain, right?”

The leader nodded as the room fell silent. No one knew what to say at this point, they somehow knew
the answer, yet at the same time didn’t want to admit it.

“I think the best way to start this story, would be to tell you my name” he stated, pausing as he slowly
took a deep breath, “My name is Himari Sato.”


Four:

I gave away my life willingly.
