Reflections in the Rain can you Accept Another?

Izuku Yagi's P.O.V

Izuku sat at the table, surrounded by his allies, the air thick with strategy and ambition. He had just dismissed the call from Izumi, the weight of her name lingering in his mind. He could still hear her voice, the desperate plea woven with a hint of concern.

What did she want? Did she really care?

No...

"Are we ready to move forward?" Koumori asked, breaking his train of thought. "We can't let the heroes get wind of our plans."

Dabi leaned back, a cocky grin on his face. "Let them come. The more chaos we create, the stronger we become. But we have to be smart about it."

Izuku's mind was racing. He couldn't shake off the feeling of Izumi's call. She had always been a constant in his life, but now she felt like a distant memory. He had chosen his path, but part of him still wondered if he could ever truly escape the ties of family.

"Are you with us, Izuku?" Toga's voice pulled him back into focus, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yeah, I'm here," he replied, forcing a smile. "Let's discuss the next steps."

As they outlined their plans to disrupt the heroes and assert their dominance, Izuku felt a surge of determination. He had power now—All For One's will coursed through him, granting him strength beyond measure. But he couldn't ignore the nagging thoughts of his family.

They'll never understand.

Izumi Yagi's P.O.V

Izumi dashed through the streets, her heart pounding with purpose. She was on a mission to find her brother, fueled by the desperate need to bring him back from the edge. The cool night air whipped against her skin, but she barely felt it. Her focus was unwavering.

I have to find him before it's too late.

She remembered the places they used to visit as kids—the park where they'd play hero and villain, the tree they climbed, the secret spots where they shared their dreams. With each landmark she passed, memories flooded back.

"Brother! Brother!" The voice of a little girl could be heard. 

"Brother! Brother! Wake up! Please wake up!" The voice of the girl grew much desperate with each passing second. This little girl was Izumi Yagi, who was three years old at the time. Izumi was desperately shaking her twin-brother, Izuku Yagi, lying unconscious on the ground, below a tree, in the garden of their house. 

"Brother! It's not funny! Please wake up!" Izumi said as tears were running down her cheeks and landing on Izuku's face. Izuku slowly opened up his, and he growled in pain as he moved his hand to his head, rubbing it. "Brother!" Izumi exclaimed as she widened her eyes in surprise and immediately picked her brother between her arms, giving him a warm hug, while burying her face in his shoulder. "You dum dum! Don't do that! I was scared!" Izumi said as she hugged her brother tightly. Izuku blinked a few times, recalling the events that had just happened.

Izuku and Izumi played on the garden with their hero toys when they suddenly saw a small white cat climb up the tree. In cliché style, the baby cat got stuck in one of the branches high on the tree. Izuku immediately knew what he had to do, and he stood up from the place he was playing with Izumi and walked to the three. He eyed it from top to bottom, and he started climbing it.

"Wait! Brother!" As she stood up and ran to the tree, Izumi said she looked up to Izuku who was still climbing the tree. "It's dangerous! You could get hurt!" Izumi half-shouted at Izuku, but she did not shout too much so their parents wouldn't see what Izuku was doing, as she was sure they would reprimand him.
