One More Step (Would It Make Me Free?)

Shinsou Hitoshi couldn't remember the last time he'd felt free. He couldn't remember feeling anything but hopeless for a long time. What was there to hope for in that tiny cell he'd been stuck in for what must've been years now? With all the years of torture and abuse he'd endured? No one was coming for him and he could never escape on his own He'd learned that a long time ago. He knew all too well he'd never be free. He'd die in his little prison, he was sure of it. That is, until he met the little girl with white hair and red eyes who gave his life meaning again.

(Or: Shinsou had been kidnapped and tortured for years. He's not sure how to function once he gains his freedom, even with Aizawa, Yamada, and Eri by his side. But he's determined to figure it out with his family by his side, and maybe a few new friends, as well.)
