(A slowburn story between my original character, Aiko Otomoru, and Katsuki Bakugo. Btw I got rid of Hagakure lol 😝)
Aiko Otomoru has spent years locked in survival mode. Trained, conditioned, and broken by the Quirk Exposure Camps her father forced her into-brutal facilities designed to push children with dangerous quirks past their limits-she was taught that strength is everything and weakness is failure. Now, as a student at U.A., she's expected to move forward, to build bonds with classmates, and to embrace a future she isn't sure she deserves.
She tells herself she's fine. That the past doesn't control her. But old scars don't fade easily. Trusting others feels impossible, even as she earns the respect of her classmates. She is powerful-but is she whole?........What is she really looking for?
As U.A.'s trials intensify and the League of Villains rises, Aiko is forced to confront her past in ways she never expected. Aiko begins to realize that strength isn't just about power-it's about trust, connection, and reclaiming what was stolen from her.
But is it too late to heal? Or can a fractured heart truly be re-bonded?
