Hyoto pulled his glasses off. They were not needed when he wore the mask. The second wave was about to happen in less than an 2 hours.

The rest of his team had already left. He was the only one who needed to be in his station. Fortunately it was not the far away from where he was currently located.

He was behind a restaurant, in an alley that smelled like sewage and honestly, Hyoto thanked Reo for creating the mask. It blocked the horrifying smell or else the doctor would have let out what he barely ate that afternoon.

There was still daylight but night was welcoming Japan. The sounds of people walking and talking, cars driving and honking, animals crying out, Hyoto took in just how loud the world was. The doctor couldn't speak for the deaf and could not ask them but there never was silence for someone who can hear. The world could be quiet but never silent. Even if one was locked up in a soundproofed room and had no windows, one could hear their breaths, their heartbeats and... just something. The world always has something to say.

The white haired doctor compared all this sounds to all the people who shared an opinion. That was how open people were.

Turquoise beads gazed down at gloved hands. Those hands he healed, with the same hands hurt others. His actions were loud so they were heard. They were so loud and clear but...

The white haired teen tilts his head in confusion. His feelings... why were they so silent?

Shoto and Bakugo were going back to the dorms from the remedial for the Hero License. The blond gave the dual haired teen a glance. Todoroki was so out of it that he did not realize that Katsuki was looking. Sure the No. 2's son was all focused and collected when working through the remedial but once he was left to do with nothing, Shoto was restless and his eyes were traveling everywhere.

Bakugo was NOT worried. He really was not! Frustration was eating him just at the sight of Shoto. The dumb ass twin just had to crying a bitch and blow things out of proportion.

Who actually takes what one said so serious?! Who would die just because one said so? Ah, right. The dumbass younger twin.

If Katsuki had to wonder, then he wonders if Todoroki's family has some loose screws. The blond was willing to throw all his allowances in the thought that they LOST some screws.

'I mean, who the fuck hurts both heroes and villains? Isn't he a villain? Why hurt his own comrades? Is he trying to pick a fight with us and them? His brain is wacked for trying to get both of heroes and villains to kill him.'

Sighing out, Bakugo aimlessly looked around before pausing. Todoroki also stopped his steps and questioned the blond who narrowed his eyes while looking at a certain direction. His ruby eyes had landed on a certain man.

The man had waved at him before disappearing into the dark. That's when everything clicked. At least for Bakugo, it did. The mother fucking twin was trying to get both villains and heroes to work together. That was probably the only way to actually find him. In whose hands was the idiot going die in was still a mystery but if that was the only way to catch the fucking pain in the ass then so be it.

"Go to the dorm first. I am business to take care of," Bakugo huffed out.

"What business could you have when we've been busy with the remedial?"

"Buzz off asshole and look for your second one."

Shoto stared as Bakugo for a moment before nodding and leaving the exploding blond.

After making sure that the bicolored haired teen was out of sight, Bakugo made his way to a certain family restaurant. He beelined to take a seat in front of the man that had once kidnapped him.

"Talk stitched Frankenstein."

Dabi indifferently chewed on his food and took his time chewing it. He was totally disregarding Bakugo or so he acted that way. The crazy spiky haired teen knew that Dabi was not exactly ignoring him but analyzing him.

"I first kidnapped Hyoto to this restaurant," Dabi began and the blond couldn't help but blink dumbfounded. Who would kidnap someone and take them to a restaurant? This stitched Frankenstein apparently.

"No, more like Hyoto tried to kidnap me but miserably failed so I showed him what kidnapping actually looks like."

Dabi chuckled at the memory but Bakugo cringed his face at how ridiculous the situation seemed.

"He said he had something he wanted to ask villains and at the time I wasn't exactly a villain so I couldn't really answer anything for him."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Dabi looked listless as he paused. He seemed to be deep in thought. Bakugo believed that in that moment, Dabi was making an internal life changing decision. The blond couldn't help but flinch when Dabi turned his gaze at him. The intensity in his eyes conveyed just how much Dabi hated but had to painfully yield to his decision.

"With your kind of personality... You could collar Hyoto in place."

"What was that you asshole?"

Dabi harshly sigh out.

"What I mean is that, although you act very villain like, you walk through a path of hero. You found peace within the hero society. You were accepted. Hyoto wants that not only for the villains but for himself and the ultimate way to do that is to be the enemy of the villains to save them. If his plans become successful, not only will he think he has become a hero in his own fucked up standards but also he will be losing his life. Long story short, the only person who can actually get into his fucked up head is you."

The blond teen stayed quiet. He still didn't understand why the villain was telling him this. The only thing he got was that Dabi was crazy and Hyoto had a completely fucked up head. He couldn't get his head around on why he was the only one who could save Hyoto.

"Why can't the fucking brother do it?"

"Why do you think a brother can save Hyoto?"

"Wouldn't a family member be able to get the idiot to think straight?" Bakugo argued.

"Tried, he didn't listen," Dabi countered.

"Huh?"

Bakugo paused for a second. He felt like he missed something vital. He was about to ask Dabi what he meant but the villain spoke first.

"Look, I just need you to save Hyoto. I will find him, you just have to keep him in your path. That's all."

"I don't mind but it seems too good for a deal. What do you want?"

Dabi smiled. It was a broken and sad smile. For some reason, Bakugo didn't want to listen.

Hyoto realized something. Reality never spoke. It didn't need to because it would smack into the face who wanted to deny it. Reality was just there and that would be enough. Its existence was so loud and clear. It didn't matter how much people wanted to change views and fight for their believes. Reality would come knocking on the door with a present and one would have to receive it whether they like it or not.

Reality was that he was born and that fact alone pained him. His existence alone was silent but it spoke louder than anything.

Just like right now, he faced the empty streets. All citizens had left and there were some villains here and heroes there.

Ice spiked out harshly like a tsunami. His existence was loud.
