At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
And to find it, how often I tried
But my life is a race
Just a wild goose chase
And my dreams have all been denied
Why have I always been a failure
What can the reason be
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me
A land dyed in red appeared seemingly after a great battle had taken place. An enormous red pentagram glowed ominously in the sky. Large signs and graffiti were strewn about the streets. Saying things like "Fuck you heaven!", "Your days are numbered!" and "Punishment!". Not a single living soul was left in the open streets. Just rows upon rows of mangle and dismembered corpses.
I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky
Out of the tallest room in the highest building walked out a young woman with long blonde hair wearing a pink suit. Tears streamed down her face as she leaned against the rails on the balcony. A small spark erupted from her fingertips before she launched it into the sky. Exploding into fireworks to signal the survivors that the new year has begun.
One by one the citizens of the city had opened up their windows and exited their homes. Not even batting an eye to the destruction and death that had befallen them. As this has happened to them many times before.
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain

Several figures made their way to start the day. A trio of individuals open the curtains of the porn studio, simply labeled as "Porn Studio". The young girl in the group opens up her phone to take a selfie with a man with a flat-screen T.V. for a head that was seated beside her.

Elsewhere, a very poshly dressed woman watches with a smile as several of her underlings begin to gorge themselves on fresh meat. Meanwhile, she simply crosses the name "Franklin" off of her sign that once said "Franklin and Rosie's Emporium."
The blonde woman continues to cry as she sings her sorrows. Her eyes turned a blood red as she stared in the distance at the clock tower. The clock resetting from 0 to 365, starting the countdown to the next cleanse.
I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird
In vain
She continued to cry for a few moments as another figure walked out from behind her. The male figure had seemed to be on a phone call a moment ago as he hung up to go over to the woman. As soon as he was behind her he gently wrapped his arms around her to bring her into a hug.
"It's gonna be alright, Charlie." He said calmly, placing a small kiss to her forehead in a comforting manner. "Soon enough all this is gonna change."
"I-Izuku..." She muttered out as she turned to face him. He smiled softly as he brushed away her tears. "I-its j-just....How can we be sure? I-I still don't have proof it'll work. And everything Dad said it's all..."
