I chew the nail of my thumb that has mostly dwindled down to a nub at this point. These minutes of waiting to see what my life will soon become are not easy to stomach.
Any minute now, the police are going to break down the door to drag me away to my dismal fate.
But what can I really do? It's about time my crimes caught up with me. What can I say? I kinda deserve it. I can't live a life of crime without the expectation of eventually getting caught.
After what feels like years of waiting, a knock finally sounds on my hospital room door.
Well, it's about that time. Goodbye, cruel world.
"Come i-in," I sing, ready to face this like a man.
But, instead of the swat team I was expecting to fight and lose, only two people walk in the door. And suddenly, everything feels much more real. Instead of a hoard of government cronies for me to fight, it's someone whom I truly respect, and fear.
"Miyasaki..." mumbles a serious looking Aizawa, after uncomfortably walking in and shutting the door.
I gulp. "Hey."
He stares at me blankly, as if he sees through every lie and facade I try my best to cloak myself in. "What was your plan?"
Such a simple question, but one that holds so much weight. What was my ultimate plan, anyway? Kill All Might? Then what? Live happily ever after with Shiggy? What really was I thinking?
Before I can arm myself with a cheeky response, fear takes over my body.
My pride seems to fly out the window at the same time as I fly off my cot straight to the floor. I bow my head as tears begin to flow from my eyes. "I'm sorry!" I cry. "I am so, so incredibly sorry, Aizawa-sensei," I say, beginning to sob. "I went against everything you've ever taught me, and I betrayed you. I betrayed everyone. And I know that All Might losing his powers is all my fault, and it kills me. I was selfish. I've been cruel in my life, and have done things that I regret, but this is my greatest sin, of which I'm the most remorseful. Whatever happens to me now, I know I deserve, but I just want you of all people to know, that from the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry."
I don't dare to lift my head to see his face. But I do hear a long sigh, followed by "Stand up."
This is it. The moment I get clapped in irons and sent to the gallows.
I wipe the pathetic tears from my face as I stand to look my mentor in the eye. He's right, I need to stand to face this with dignity. These are my last few moments of freedom. Apologies mean nothing on a wrongdoing of this scale.
"You went against every rule and regulation set in place for you students' safety," he continues.
I dart my eyes between him and the police chief. Seems like an odd thing to bring up considering the gravity of my other crimes.
"I understand," I mumble.
I know they already talked to Katsuki, so why aren't they arresting me and sending me away forever? Are they making their way towards it slowly, to aggregate my pain?
"You going off on your own was not only extremely reckless, but downright stupid. You doubled the severity of the situation by putting yourself in danger as well as Bakugo."
An "Uhh..." escapes from my mouth.
"And by the looks of it, you didn't do a very good job of saving him, nor yourself. It was a pointless, selfish act that I would be justified in expelling you for right now."
