"What was the point of talking if you weren't listening all these years?" Katsuki Bakugo, number two pro hero, was pronounced dead. He'd been missing for a little over a year when it was official, but Izuku couldn't bring himself to terms with it. Not completely, at least. Through the help of his friends and comrades, he'd finally managed to somewhat grow out of a shell of despair. He had to. For the sake of those whom Katsuki left behind, as well as the rest of humanity. All of these things considered, Izuku's 'new' life came to an abrupt halt, when he was informed of something concerning Katsuki and the other Pros and civilians who went missing... Something, he just wasn't about ready to believe. ⚠Trigger Warning⚠ -Character death -Depictions of violence -Depression/Suicidal thoughts (I'll put warnings before designated chapters) Cover art can be found at: 15e671021aa1d82954074479350
