Two Sides of The Same Coin #DWC
22 parts Ongoing "We have to go, Izu. Now."
A hand sticks out from the ground, reaching, reaching-
A purple fog appears.
"-ave to go, Izu."
A suited man approaches, hand outstretched.
"Let me help you, child."
His hands slide away from his mom, and takes the man's hand.
"There's no time!"

"Kid?"
The child doesn't move, doesn't even make a sound. Aizawa immediately assumes the worst.
It's likely the kid could be dead.
Aizawa cautiously moves towards the white-blue haired boy. He crouches down and pulls his boney wrist up, taking his pulse. There's a steady beat. He sighs in relief and realizes there is something crusting off of the child's hand and wrist. Blood.
Aizawa inspects the kid's arm, then shoulder, but there is no visible wound. The only indication that the child is injured is a swollen, dark purple bruise around his eye with hints of sprinkled yellow patches.
He makes a quick call for the ambulance, then gives him one last shake, seeing if he'll wake up.
He doesn't stir.
Aizawa scoops the kid up bridal style and sets off to hand him over to the paramedics.
He won't fail another innocent child.
