Thank you for checking out The Zeal to Save!
This story has been a labour of love, born from my passion for character psychology, grey morality, and redemption arcs in the MHA universe.
If you connect with Murasaki, or even if you don't right away, I hope you stick around for her journey. She's not perfect—but she's trying.

Feedback, comments, and theories fuel me.
Let's make this story come alive together 💜
