A/N: Earlier update today! Figured you might enjoy it, maybe even want it? Meh, it's been a long day, give me a break. Anyways, here's the next chapter!

In the end, if one doesn't survive their ordeals, they get left behind, right? He was almost left behind. Not a fact he's proud of, really. He wanted nothing more than to forget that part of his life, but Shigaraki wouldn't let him. He'd remind him of his near failure at almost every turn.


He almost wanted this attempt on All Might to fail because of this. But not quite.

He'd almost given in. Not gotten back up. Failed.

He'd been broken by that one.

So he forgot him.
