Shigaraki Ending 

It's been so long. About three years have passed since meeting AFO, since the whole incident happened. Each day I've been reflecting upon the past and learning from it. I've been trying my best to truly forgive my dad and try to see him as my dad and not my enemy.

I can't say our relationship is fixed. I don't think it'll ever be perfect. I've started to understand he didn't mean to neglect me and that there's nothing wrong with me. We may not be close but I know that when I'll need him, he'll be there for me. For real this time.

~~

It's been a few months since I got released from the reformation facility. The doctors deemed me mentally healthy to face society once again and form a part of it. During those months spent there, I was doing online school and was able to graduate high school.

The reformation program got me prepared enough to start my new life; my criminal record was clean. However, for the next twenty years I was going to need a hero to sponsor my civilian behavior, in other words Midoriya offered to be the hero to check in on me once in a while. If it were other times, I would've been pissed about it, but Midoriya and I had become good friends over the past years.

Speaking of friends, I've started living with Haru who treats me like his sister. My dad spends most of the time in UA still helping the younger generation as a teacher. We've had a few encounters; at first they were awkward but it's slowly been getting better. I don't think we'll ever have a 'perfect' relationship as father and daughter but at least the hatred in my heart is slowly fading away and my wounds are finally healing.

Every now and then I visit Touya, who is also healing his wounds; physical and mental. He's in a special hospital where he's getting treated for his scars and getting psychological help so he can move on from his hatred towards his family. His process has been difficult but he's slowly getting there. I'm proud of him and I feel happy knowing he's begun to accept Shoto; he's finally acknowledged that Shoto isn't at fault.

Shoto, Bakugou, Midoriya and the other of my former classmates have finally made it pro. It makes me happy seeing them achieve their goal as heroes. I've occasionally spoken with them; they were kind enough to forgive me. I asked not only them for forgiveness but also Mister Aizawa, and the rest of the UA teachers and the principal.

Yup, it seems like everything is falling into place; slow and steady. I can't say it's all been good, at times the guilt eats me alive, other times I feel sad and need to cry. But I've learned to deal with that. I've also realized I'm not alone anymore.

With all the years that passed, my thoughts have been clearer and one person in specific has remained in my thoughts all this time.

Shigaraki Tomura...

Though, he... no longer goes by that name anymore; that villain name. He's finally accepted being Shimura Tenko again and has let his inner child out; the goodness left in Tenko has somehow settled and spread onto his heart.

Yet, even when he's acknowledged himself as Tenko, he's been battling his inner demons, similar to me. Physically his recovery has been nearly painless. But his emotional state of mind has been agony to him. He's being taught how to accept society and learn that not everyone is against him.

Additionally, since the death of AFO, he too suffered a similar odd occurrence with his quirk; he's only got decay as his main quirk, all the other minor quirks have vanished in his body. To his fortune, he's able to be in full control of his decay and doesn't need to ever worry about it suddenly activating.
