Story Description:
Neglected by his parents, scorned by his sister Izumi, and bullied by those he once called friends - Katsumi, Shoka, and even Shoto - Izuku Yagi's dream of becoming a hero crumbles long before he reaches U.A. The spark that once burned within him has dimmed to ash, leaving behind a boy who no longer smiles, no longer speaks... and no longer believes in himself.
When he enters the General Studies course at U.A., Izuku's silence is both his shield and his prison. Only Hitoshi Shinsou manages to break through the quiet, forming a fragile bond with the boy who'd given up on everything. But when fate reunites Izuku with the people who broke him - Izumi, Katsumi, and Shoka - their attempts to reconnect only reopen the wounds they left behind.
And when they dare to ask what they did wrong... something inside Izuku finally snaps.
What follows isn't vengeance, but awakening - a journey of pain, growth, and rediscovery, where love is both poison and cure.
In the quiet aftermath of a broken heart, the forgotten boy begins to rise again - and those who once hurt him might just find themselves falling for the man he becomes.
