Connected In Chains of Life and Destiny

Y/N pov

1 month later.

For a whole month, I've dreamed the same dream. The memories of joy I hold in my heart, the searing hell I was trusted in. But nothing has changed as I look out the window on my hospital bed. Every person in this city went about their day. None of them know a thing, all of them so close to their deaths yet not a care in the world. This society it's trapped each of them in a beautiful Illusion.

"This world... is so fragile." I feel as though a single touch could destroy everything before me, a peace built on top of lies. Can that even be called peace?

In this world where absolute good clashes with absolute evil, there are no depths one won't sink to. Once more, I dreamed that dream, praying that the lie you told would end. But you're an 'infallible' hero, one so no one will know of your weakness.

So despite the lies, everyone outside continues to walk around, living a typical life. A life where they don't reach out to people crying for help. A world where your quirk will leave you to be discriminated against. That is the truth of this hero society.

That is the world built around the symbol of peace. "Revolting..."

Perched on the buildings opposite my hospital room, hundreds of crows perch silently on the roofs. In the alleys, rats skitter about. Through them, I've watched this city during this long month of recovery.

Through them, I've seen the things this country tries to hide. The people they've swept away under the rug, the pain they ignore.

In this world of heroes and villains, they have no concept of why these villains were created.

I focused my mind and saw through the eyes of Aki; I gave him a mission. To watch him...

"Ah, that's no good, is it? You haven't been lucid this whole month; don't you know the doctors and your comrades are worried. How many surgeries have you been in, 8? You'll even make me worried." A slight grin peeps on my face as I see the hero hospital that Aki has been watching for me. "Do your best... All Might. After all, this isn't how your story ends."

One of the crows in the apartment nearby flew over and pecked on my window. "I see, thank you. It's good to know that she's made it back safely."

My mind draws back to the number 1 'hero.' His heroism in saving for the sake of saving... noble. But what do you do with those you've saved? You toss them back into this illusion; that cannot be what a real hero does.

I know that it's not; I've seen real heroes. My mother, who, while facing the end, held me tight to protect me from a battle. My brother, who, despite being entirely broken, fought for my dreams. He who ran me to safety as his quirk tore him apart and who told me to push on. And her...

"Hey, Y/N. Are you holding up better today? Only a month longer, and you'll finally be out of here." Her familiar presence re-enters the room, and the indigo-haired woman takes her seat next to me.

"Yes, I'm doing better now; thank you for asking, Kaina," I reply with a smile. Kaina Tusutumi, the hero Lady Nagant. Ever since we saw the broadcast together, she's continued to visit me; each time, she asks me how I'm doing, and each time, she helps heal the pain of the family I lost.

Denji, you did say that I'd meet new people to share my dream with. What would you do in the situation I'm in?

"Kaina, you were gone for 3 days this time. A-are you okay?" During our time together, she's told me of things she had to do for Public Safety. All those deaths to uphold a lie and the fact that they've forced Nagant to bare them all. I see; Public Safety is another symptom of the lie of peace.
