vigil

The war is over, but peace has no place for Izuku Midoriya. Expelled from U.A. and branded a fugitive, he drifts through Musutafu's shadows, surviving on paranoia, shifting safehouses, and the fragile comfort of a stray cat named Kumo. To the world, he is a ghost-until one night, green lightning cuts across the skyline and his secret is exposed.

Now hunted by a clandestine organization with designs on quirks themselves, Izuku is forced to fight not only for survival but for the civilians who still whisper his name as "hero." While his former classmates struggle to uncover the truth and the teachers of U.A. close in, Izuku faces a choice: keep running, or step back onto the stage as a hero-alone, scarred, and tempered by war.

But in Musutafu's dark alleys and silent boardrooms, new plans are already in motion. And Izuku Midoriya may not just be the hunted. He may be the key.
