Chapter 32 – Everything Goes On

"You knew that it would harm you. If it hit Shigaraki then it would probably only injure, but then again he could just regenerate. Why did you take the hit for him? It does more harm for him than good." She was genuinely curious.

However, it was only after a round of intense coughing did Twice manage to utter some words.

"*Cough. We're friends *cough *cough after all. *cough we need him to be as prepared *cough as possible, so he could save us after."

"You believe he can save you?"

"Yes."

His eyes burned with confidence and reliance. Shigaraki didn't fail to notice this, and inside, something stirred.

He felt the influence of something, but he didn't know what. It kept trying to tempt him, to abandon his friends and run and prioritising his own life, but he stubbornly resisted.

On the outside however, he was in great pain. A bulging headache overtook him and he screamed out.

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow at this. Her eyes then glowed before dimming down.

"For your information, he has two souls inside of him."

"Two souls?" It was Dabi was asked.

"Yes. Don't think of this as me helping you. I'm merely stating facts. It seems that after being in that pod, All for One has put a part of his soul into Shigaraki, as well as his quirks. He's currently fighting against him. That's probably why he's in pain."

"Can you help him?"

"Toga, I am here to defeat you, do you really think I will help you?"

They were silent after that. Only the sizzling of her wings and the muffled screaming of Shigaraki could be heard.

"Then... can you help him? Like, do you have the ability?"

"Ability? Hmm, can't say without trying. It's  a bit like his decay, so with my vitality flames maybe... why?"

"What are your conditions for helping him?"

"Toga!" Is was then Dabi spoke up, "did you really say that?"

"Yeah Dabi, I'm willing."

"ARE YOU DUMB! Why would you even say that to a hero. Don't forget what they did to you."

"I didn't." She bit her lips, "but I do feel like Hu Tao's different. I feel like she's more forced into doing this than anything, right?"

"No comment."

"See?"

"Still..." He also had a troubled look on his face.

Then, Twice stumbled into Dabi. He caught him with one arm, "hey, don't move about so carelessly."

"I agree with Toga's opinion."

"What?"

"Shigaraki *cough has done so much for us. He practically saved our lives, so why can't we save him?"

Despite the pain, Shigaraki still heard him quite clearly, and he was also confused at their attitude.

"Twice..." Toga looked at him.

"Are you guys done? What do you want?"

"We are willing to give anything you want in order to save him."

"Asking your opponent to save your friend so he can carry on fighting?"

"Yes." A resolute expression was evident on Toga's face. Twice also looked on strongly, and Dabi had a complicated expression.
