Snow is white and gray, part and whole, infinitely various yet infinitely repetitious, soft and hard, frozen and melting, a creaking underfoot and a soundlessness. But first of all, it is the reversion of many into one. It is substance, almost the idea of substance, that turns grass, driveway, hayfield, old garden, log pile, Saab, watering trough, collapsed barn, and stonewall into the one white. It was hard not to appreciate its beauty.

"I want to make a world where people smile and are happy. For that to happen, people need a symbol." Toshinori said.

"A symbol?" Nana asked.

"A symbol of peace," Toshinori explained, "The reason that crime is on the rise everywhere is that people need to count on someone...it is why I want to be the pillar that someone counts on as a symbol of hope."

"So that is what drives you to become a hero?" Nana asked, "Even though you are quirkless."

"Yes," Toshinori said.

Nana chuckled.

"Toshinori Yagi, is that right?" Nana asked, "That is some crazy idea."

Soon Toshinori glared at Nana a bit annoyed at her behavior. Until she realized that she was distracted by something else. He soon followed her direction and noticed a girl with long pink hair running by holding onto her bag as she breezed by with a smile as the top two heroes were running after her.

"Stop running!" the heroes yelled, "We need to discuss something with you."

"W-why are the top two heroes running after her?" Toshinori asked.

"She is going to be something, and I think you should try to get to know her Toshinori," Nana said, "Plus she is pretty cute so maybe you guys will get together and get married someday."

"That is a huge jump in time considering I don't even know who she is!" Toshinori said a bit shocked.

"I am just saying, if you want to be the so-called symbol of peace, you may want to have her by your side when you become it," Nana said

Toshinori's POV

Flames erupt from the site as the city was shrouded in black smoke. A whole portrait of Japan was taken from everyone in an instant: fathers and mothers, children and newlyweds, brothers, sisters, and best friends. Amid in their grief, it was clear to now see that this city had been distracted by flash and wit and cash for too long.

Despite the horror of the scene, there was an assumption that the worst had already occurred; All Might and All for One's along awaited battle had ensued.

The glowing embers leaped and twirled in a fiery dance, twinkling like stars in the hot swirling air before cascading to earth like gleeful fire fiends, setting alight in the area the fight was occurring.

"You have so much in common with Nana Shimura," All for One commented, "The utter waste of a human who passed one for all on to you."

"My master was a true Hero," All Might praised, "Keep her name out of your filthy mouth."

All might fire another punch that caused One for All to unleashed his power to deflect All Might's attack and cause him to be launched towards the helicopter. Luckily, Gran Torino was there to save him from being sliced up.
