"Anything?"

All Might asked Naomosa as he stepped out of the room. The man shook his head with a long sigh.

"Not a word. He's completely closed up, his expression barely changed no matter what I did." Naomosa said, rubbing his face. He had just spent about six hours on and off in the interrogation room with Shoto Todoroki.

Asking him question after question. But the boy never broke. He just stared at the table in front of him. Eyes blank.

It pissed Naomosa off.

What started with patient talking evolved into strong questioning. Until it morphed into screaming at full volume. Just to go back to quiet questioning.

Nothing. Naomosa tried everything possible. Even just trying to provoke a reaction of any kind from him. Nothing. He barely even blinked.

Naomosa felt like he was going crazy. He had the kid behind it. In custody and yet he still knew absolutely nothing. Not about Kira and not about Mineta. Not about the league or anything.

All Might was sitting on the bench. Head in his hands. He had waited the whole time, not allowed in yet. Since he wasn't an investigator, cop or even a pro.

He was a veteran civilian now. That's it.

"Has his father been informed?" Naomosa asked, looking at another officer in the room. Who nodded.

"Unfortunately." All Might mumbled. Knowing that Endeavor wouldn't be happy about this.

"I think it's time to call Nezu again." Naomosa said walking towards the phone.

"Nezu? About what?" All Might asked.

Naomosa picked it up and stared at the screen. He seemed to be uneasy. Like he

"About my new intern."

Silence.

Todoroki stared at the table in front of him. He knew someone was in the room.

But they said nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

He had heard the scraping of the chair across from him. The shutting of the door as someone closed the room up. And then nothing...

Todoroki was completely restrained. His body locked down in a metal contraption. Everything but his head covered. He had a band around each arm sensing for any sign of him about to use his quirk. If it went off he'd be injected with a drug to knock him out. All within seconds.

He almost wanted to do it. To go to sleep and avoid this reality.

"You were put up to it."

A voice finally spoke. After half an hour of silence. Todoroki was so surprised he almost showed it. He almost looked up.

But he didn't.

The voice that spoke was actually female. Feminine and young. His age. He didn't understand why they had another kid in here.

"You obviously feel bad."

She continued.

Tammy Tanaka. She like Kira could somewhat understand what a person was feeling in the moment. It wasn't strong and it wasn't natural. Tammy had to force herself to feel the energy coming from the living.

"I think you're glad you got caught. Must've been pretty tiring. Keeping all those secrets. Hiding everything and pretending everything was fine."

He still hasn't looked up. But she had somehow managed to perfectly guess his feelings. Perfectly understand him.
