"At the end of an old flame, another comes to light the dying embers. Though they have to be careful. For the tears coming down their face, doesn't end the flame as soon as it's lit."

"You're next."

"My embers are gone. Shigaraki is related to my master. Midoriya's little girlfriend knows about OFA. So much to do...with so little time." Toshinori, the now retired hero, told himself as he layed back on the hospital bed. "Well...where do you think we should start?" Toshinori looked over to the detective. "Tsukauchi?"

Tsukauchi stood there in silence with Grand Torino who walked up to them both.

"I'd say deal with the easiest matter first. Then move up and that list." Grand Torino then smacked Toshinori on the head with the cane. "And maybe if you taught that Midoriya boy how to properly hide the secret we wouldn't be in this mess!" He scolded Toshinori trying to smack him again.

"H-hey! I just saved the whole country from...him." Toshinori's tone grew with disgust by just the thought of him which did calm Grand Torino down.

"Tch. Well at least the boy's problem should be simple enough to do." Grand Torino turned his head to look up to Tsukauchi. "So who knows the secret?" Tsukauchi nodded, pulling out some papers from his pocket.

"Right. Nejire Hado, a third year at U.A, birthday October 6th, smart kid too passing all her classes, lives alone in an apartment apparently funded mostly by pro hero Ryukyu, one of the strongest at U.A, and relationship status with Midoriya from what we've seen is close friends." Tsukauchi said listing all the details they have about Nejire as Toshinori thought intensely.

"hmmm...We could just do a...Keettdddttt." He said holding up a pen made a sound effect. "But not sure how we would be able to target that specific part of the memory without removing Midoriya entirely." Tsukauchi then spoke up.

"As harsh as this may seem, Toshinori. The secret of OFA is a massive thing and we cannot have it being let out because one day they have a fight and she screams it out for the world to hear or worse a villain with ties to AFO knows she knows and comes to hunt her down. The risk is too great. Midoriya will have to just build back up the relationship." Grand Torino stood there silently as Toshinori looked conflicted.

"Tsukauchi...I know you mean no harm but it would be cruel to do that to Midoriya. You said their relationship was a close one, right? Let's bring them both in next Saturday. By then they will need to decide on how to move forward." Tsukauchi only nodded, putting the paper away.

"If that is what you think is best, make sure to recover and stay at U.A. Your days as a hero may be numbered but you can still teach the next generation." With that Tsukauchi walked out of the room to do whatever detectives do as the room is silent but Grand Torino speaks up.

"Was it a good idea?" Grand Torino asked, sitting down on a chair.

"...I don't know." Toshinori said with uncertainty in his tone, messing around with a few roses that people left him.

"Look! It's Midoriya! From the news!" A civilian called out and others around heard quickly turned their heads and rushed over.

"You were so brave!"

"Was that bird guy your friend?!"

"Can I have your autograph!"

"You were so cool!!" A few kids jumped in their space and it was safe to say nearly all of Japan had seen the stunt Midoriya pulled off. At least with the others it was difficult to see who was there...except for Todoroki but Midoriya was in full blast which some may see as a huge boost to their hero career. Though Midoriya was scared.
