An Unexpected Request:

Kaito and his friends had returned to their daily routines at U.A. High, but the weight of the recent events lingered heavily on their minds. The capture and interrogation of Stain had opened up many questions, especially about the involvement of All for One. Kaito felt a personal responsibility to uncover the truth, given his secret connection to the villain.

One afternoon, Aizawa-sensei approached Kaito during training. "Kaito, the police have a special request. They want you to question Stain."

Kaito's eyes widened in surprise. "Me? But why?"

"Stain mentioned All for One," Aizawa explained. **"The police believe you might be able to get more information from him, given your recent involvement in his capture and your... unique circumstances."

Kaito nodded, understanding the gravity of the request. **"I'll do it, sensei."

Preparing for the Interrogation:

The following day, Kaito was escorted to the high-security facility where Stain was being held. Detective Tsukauchi greeted him at the entrance. **"Thank you for agreeing to this, Kaito. We believe Stain might open up to you in ways he hasn't with us."

Kaito took a deep breath. **"I'll do my best, Detective."

Before entering the interrogation room, Kaito was briefed on the security measures and the questions the police wanted him to ask. He felt a mix of nerves and determination as he stepped into the room.

Face to Face with Stain:

Stain sat chained to the table, his expression as menacing as ever. His eyes locked onto Kaito as he entered, a flicker of recognition crossing his face.

"Back again, huh?" Stain remarked with a smirk. **"I didn't expect to see you here."

Kaito took a seat across from him, trying to project confidence. **"I have some questions for you, Stain. About All for One."

Stain's smirk faded, replaced by a serious expression. **"All for One... Now that's a name I didn't think you'd bring up."

The Interrogation:

Kaito began with the questions the police had prepared, but Stain's answers were vague and evasive. It became clear that a different approach was needed. Kaito decided to take a more personal angle.

"You talk about true heroism, Stain," Kaito said, leaning forward. **"But how does someone like All for One fit into that? He's the antithesis of everything you claim to stand for."

Stain's eyes narrowed. **"All for One is a monster. A necessary evil to cleanse this world of the fake heroes who plague it. But don't mistake my hatred for heroes with loyalty to him."

Kaito pressed on. **"Then why work with him? Why align yourself with his goals?"

Stain's gaze turned cold. **"You don't understand, kid. My goals and his sometimes intersect, but I despise him just as much as I despise the false heroes. He's a means to an end, nothing more."

A Revelation:

Kaito decided to take a risk. "I know more about All for One than you think," he said, his voice steady. **"I know he's been manipulating people, including me."

Stain's interest was piqued. **"Manipulating you? How?"

Kaito took a deep breath. **"He gave me my quirk. I was quirkless before. He... he's my father."

The room fell silent. Stain's expression shifted to one of genuine surprise. **"All for One... your father? And you're here, fighting for justice?"

Kaito nodded. **"I want to stop him. I want to be a hero, a real hero. But I need your help. Tell me everything you know about his plans, his followers, anything that can help us bring him down."

Stain's Decision:

Stain leaned back, contemplating Kaito's words. **"You're an interesting one, kid. Maybe there's hope for you yet. Fine, I'll tell you what I know. But remember this: true heroism isn't about power or fame. It's about sacrifice and conviction."

Kaito listened intently as Stain began to divulge information about All for One's operations, his network of villains, and potential plans. It was more than the police had hoped for, and Kaito knew this information would be crucial in their fight against the looming threat.

Moving Forward:

After the interrogation, Kaito relayed the information to Detective Tsukauchi and Aizawa-sensei. They were impressed with what he had managed to extract from Stain. "You've done a great service, Kaito," Tsukauchi said. **"This will help us prepare for whatever All for One has planned."

Kaito nodded, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. He had taken a significant step in his journey to become a true hero, but he knew the road ahead would be long and challenging. With the support of his friends and mentors, he was ready to face whatever came next.
