The villian I made

"If I bring him in, I lose him forever. If I bring him home... I have to admit I never stopped wanting him to come back."

Now Deku wakes up screaming because in his dreams, they tie Bakugo up and make him watch. In real life, they're running out of patience.

They called him a hero once.
Now the world knows him as the villain who doesn't miss, doesn't hesitate, and doesn't sleep at night.

In the dark, he breaks people to save them. In the light, he pretends he's still worth saving.

But when an old ghost from his past walks back into the fire, he'll have to say it out loud:

I didn't just fall. I dragged you down with me.
