Night falls, and the dining room buzzes with the clink of silverware and the low murmur of conversation. The boys sit around the large dining table with the old man, Bakugo's father, at the head.

His usual calm demeanor shifts as he notices the boys' serious expressions. There's an unspoken tension in the air, and he knows something is off.



(Old Man Glancing around the table, his brow furrowed.): "You boys seem quieter than usual tonight. Is there something on your mind?"



Bakugo exchanges a glance with Todoroki and takes a deep breath, deciding to be the one to speak up.



(Bakugo's voice is steady, but firm.): "There's something you need to know about one of the employees here-one of the male servants. We think he's been causing trouble for some of the maids."


(Old Man Raises an eyebrow, surprised): "Causing trouble? In what way?"


"Uncle....We've noticed a pattern. He targets the new and attractive maids, and tries to get too close. Many of them end up resigning shortly after, looking traumatized. Some even left pregnant." (Shinso explained)


(The old man's eyes widen in shock, his fork clattering onto the plate as he realizes the gravity of what he's hearing.): "I had no idea... How could this have been happening right under my nose?"


"It's been subtle. He's careful about where and when he approaches them, and until recently, none of us had enough evidence to say anything. But after what we saw today with Izuku... it was clear that something was very wrong." (Guilio says)


"And Izuku? She was the one who brought this to your attention?" (Old man asked)


"She didn't report him directly, but we saw how uncomfortable he made her today. It made us realize that we had seen this kind of behavior from him before. If she hadn't come here, we might never have connected the dots." (Rody response)


"It seems that hiring her was a stroke of luck, then. She might have saved many others from falling into his trap. I can't believe I didn't notice... Thank you for bringing this to me." (Old man sighs)


(Bakugo Clenches his fist, his voice low.): "We need to do something about him. We don't have solid proof yet, but we can't just let him keep doing this."



(The old man nods): "You're right. We need to investigate quietly and gather evidence. In the meantime, I'll have him watch, and I'll make sure he's kept away from the maids-especially Izuku."



(Todoroki leans back in his chair, relieved that the old man is taking action.): "We'll keep our eyes open too, just in case. If we see anything suspicious, we'll let you know."


(Old Man nods again, his tone resolute): "Good. We'll get to the bottom of this. No one should feel unsafe working here."





As the conversation comes to an end, the old man's thoughts drift toward Izuku.

He realizes that her presence may very well have uncovered a dark secret in his mansion, and he silently vows to ensure her safety and the safety of all the staff from this point forward.

That night, the mansion is quieter than usual, but for Izuku, every little sound feels amplified in the silence.
