Ochako Urararaka. A happy go lucky girl with big dreams to help support her family, like so many she dreamed a valiant and noble dream. She was on the train home scrolling through the recent news, a recent surge in disappearances, and just sighed as she clutched her bag tightly. The world she lived in was so amazing and beautiful, but it was absolutely terrifying. People had the power to just bring disaster, but they had heroes defending them so surely they'd be safe. She just scrolled through the stories before she found a story that just caught her eye.

'Where is Izuku Midoriya? The boy who murdered his mother and another innocent woman.'

As if something just drew her attention in she pressed on it and began to read through,

'On September 20th, 20XX Inko Midoriya and Mitsuki Bakugo were visiting Izuku Midoriya in the hospital. Izuku had become sick with an unknown illness with his mental health, taking a very sudden downward spiral. It's unknown what happened inside the hospital room, but when Mitsuki Bakugo's son, Katsuki Bakugo, was able to break through he found the dead corpses of both Inko Midoriya and Mitsuki Bakugo Izuku Midoriya quickly broke the window and escaped the hospital, disappearing for several months. The corpses of the women were found to be missing their eyes. Both were stabbed in the neck and were determined to have bled out before their eyes were removed. However, just last month, a young woman reported a green haired boy matching his description, killing a petty thief. The body was also missing its eyes, and further into the alleyway pro hero, Hotshot was found dead. They described his body as viciously torn apart and broken. All Might himself has commented on the case describing it as a "senseless tragedy," as it stands now. All Might is with the Bakugo family attempting to help alongside police to locate and question Izuku Midoriya. If you have any information, please call the number listed below.'

She just felt her hair stand up on her neck as she read through that article, Izuku Midoriya. She'd heard the name from her parents when they were discussing the initial situation, but she'd never actually read into it. The details were just so grizzly and brutal that she couldn't imagine what that woman's son must have been going through, to have your mother be murdered by someone like that and have the corpse defiled like that. It just defied all sense of reason. It was honestly terrifying.

She had spent some time going down a rabbit hole of articles on the situation and also who Izuku Midoriya exactly was. Oddly, he was diagnosed quirkless but survived several stories high fall without incident and had the strength to kill the two women or even that pro hero. She just read through article after article until she felt the train come to a stop and announce her stop, so she got off the train and began her trip home. So there was just some psycho boy out there killing people in ways nobody can explain rationally. Why was the world so scary? Despite the fears that ran through her head, she did make it home just fine, and when she arrived home, it was the same sight as usual. Her mother and father just cook dinner, talk about what happened during the day, and then greet her as she walks through the door. She went on to enjoy her dinner, and just like every single night before, it was all one big routine. Eventually, the night ran it's course and Ochako went to bed drifting into the world of sleep and dreams.

She had been having a reoccurring dream over the last couple of weeks, which always played out in the same way. She found herself wandering through the halls of her home before coming to a door, and whenever she opens that door, she falls through into a vast sea of stars and light. In the distance is a single blurred mess she can't make out, and no matter how many steps she takes towards it, it never grows clearer. Tonight was no different as she found herself wandering throughout the halls of her home, tracing her fingers along the walls.
