As the room grew quiet and the air thickened, you found yourself trembling on the bed of the room you were held captive in.

After Midoriya had left, it grew too quiet for comfort, and so far -- you had heard nothing outside the door.

Your eyes searched the area in attempt to scout for something useful, until the moment you were sidetracked by a thud.

Something collapsed against the floor.
It was loud, and abrupt.

As your dread became dull, your gaze shifted back towards the closed door near you, aching in hope for a rescuer. "Help!" You screamed, tugging against the chains. The sheer rising of your voice made you fall into instant regret, as you felt mild pain in your irritated throat. The tie wrapped around your mouth was to no help either.

Nonetheless, you continued.

"I'm in here! Someone please help me, I'm begging you!" As your words managed to become audible, your brightening eyes shimmered as you had heard voices.

"Hey, I think someone's in there!"

"Really?"

The doorknob slowly began to twist, causing you to feel only anticipation. You gulped down your upcoming words and shook your chains vigorously to grab more attention. Eventually the door parted widely, revealing two confused figures.

One of them entered the room while the other stood in the doorway idly. The one who approached the bed looked unwaveringly worried, his hands raising to try and remove the chains. "This is crazy. Are you okay, ma'am?"

You smiled with tearful eyes, your cheeks flushed due to your pathetic crying. The man in front of you sighed in relief, his hand diving into his bag resting beside him. "Good. My name is Kurusou, and the guy behind me is Hiroshima." He spoke, while untying the restraints against your lips. As the tie collapsed to the floor, you gasped for air.

His attempt to calm you down had surprisingly worked, and willingly you decided to share your own name. "M..My.. name is... [F/N] [L/N]. Thank... you.. for saving me.."

Kurusou smiled at you faintly, while turning around to face his partner. "Shima, go search that kid's body for keys to unlock these things." Hiroshima had nodded briefly, before pivoting towards the hallway.

He suddenly froze, before turning back around towards you both.

You peered up at him, questioning why he began walking forward so suddenly in a startled manner. Kurusou had caught your diverted attention and had took it upon himself to look back as well, his eyebrow raising towards his friend. "What is it?"

"I'm not sure if I'm.. going crazy...-" Hiroshima pointed his thumb in the direction of the hallway, his eyes trembling in his sockets.
















"The body... isn't there anymore..."












You and Kurusou immediately stiffened, as the savior beside you stood to his feet. "What are you talking about? Of course-" His sentence was cut off by the sound of a deep impale. Blood spurted out and landed against the floor, almost managing to land near you both. What stuck out through Hiroshima's chest was a large knife, twisting and dripping with blood.

Kurusou's friend slouched forward as the injected blade remained through his body, and he became a corpse the instant he collapsed against the floor, surrounded with blood.
