Layers Of Suffering (Tokoyami BNHA)

Revelations

~Momo~

*Creeeak*

Before Momo could take another step...

"Nobody move!"

Aizawa Sensei's voice boomed.

Momo opened the door partially. She could only spot Aizawa with his hair floating at the corner of the room.

What's happening? Is there a villain?

The door is just annoyingly covering up the important bit of the scene.

Momo's heart was beating... It wasn't definitely the first time she encountered an enemy, but someone, she felt that the severity of this situation was something she had not faced before.

Looking at Aizawa, she wondered why he haven't removed the person's quirk yet...

Looking at how Aizawa is still staring at the villain, she knew that something was probably blocking eye contact between the villain and Aizawa. So looking at the villain won't do any harm.

Using her quirk, she created a mirror and angled it over the door.

The first thing she noticed was the haphazard room. There were papers, books and shredded pieces of Aizawa's tape everywhere mixed with splatters of blood.

In the middle of the mess was...

Hmm?

A pair of red wings wrapped up in a cocoon... No. It was a cocoon of red feathers.

Red feathers?

She remembered a hero with the same feature...

One of the top heroes...

Ughh! Presque vu*, now of all times!

*Presque vu means forgetting something that was at the tip of your tongue.

"Don't you dare!"

Aizawa Sensei boomed, making Momo flinch out of her thoughts.

"Don't you dare kill yourself in front of a growing hero, you're going to hurt her passion!"

'Staying silent is only going to hurt others more than it hurts me.'

Hawks?

Duh.

Hawks is definitely tormented by the loss of his intern, Tokoyami. Receiving many hateful comments and definitely scarred his confidence. Yet how does that drive someone nonchalant like Hawks to be suicidal?

The red-feathered cocoon suddenly shifted, opening a hole facing her while still covering eye contact with Aizawa Sensei.

Hawks could be seen inside. Momo caught eye contact with him. His eyes were glinting with lunacy. He held a matching disturbing smile. Yet, he seemed sad on the inside.

Something else was glinting in the darkness with him, something far more disturbing...

A knife...

His knife glinted in the light, providing more vision inside the cocoon.

Momo gasped with shock as the gruesome scene unfolded in front of her...

Hawks was embedded with feathers, not on him, but in him. Razor-sharp feathers that snuggled deeply in his entire form.

Momo grimaced as she visualised the pain. She could not see clearly inside the cocoon, but Hawks was definitely covered in blood. The knife that Hawks was carrying definitely would be the finishing blow.
