AdomaVerse
Midoriya Izuku is the Ninth Holder, but his heroic destiny has turned him into The Vessel of Forgotten Regrets. He carries the cold, combined sorrows of seven dead heroes, trapped in a constant Hall of Whispers where the past screams louder than the present. To the ghosts within him, love is vulnerability, and connection is the ultimate betrayal.
Blinded by this inherited psychological torment, Deku begins a devastating descent, shutting out those closest to him
Bakugo Katsuki is the only one who sees the truth-not of the ghosts, but of the despair. His fierce, quiet love is misunderstood as rivalry, his protective acts misinterpreted as challenges. As Deku deliberately isolates himself to "save" Bakugo from the lineage's curse, Bakugo is forced into a desperate, silent battle against an enemy he cannot see: the Weight of Seven Heartbeats.
