INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM - DAY
The hospital's sterile walls echo with the anxious murmurs of concerned parents and the occasional beep of medical equipment. Mitsuki Bakugo, Mr. Bakugo, Mikasa Yayourozu, and Mr. Yayourozu huddle together, their faces etched with worry as they await news of their children.
KATSUKI, though physically unscathed thanks to his fire-resistant quirk, wears a mask of turmoil, his eyes haunted by the horrors he witnessed.
MITSUKI
(clutching Katsuki's hand)
My boy, are you alright?
KATSUKI
(struggling to find words)
I'm... I'm fine, mom. But... what happened... it was...
His voice trails off, lost amidst the echoes of trauma.
CUT TO:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY
The Quirk Police, accompanied by a cadre of pro heroes and a representative from the Quirk Association, convene with the Bakugo and Yayourozu families. The atmosphere crackles with tension as they dissect the events that led to the tragedy.
The truth unfolds like a grim tapestry: Izuku overwhelmed by pain and fear, unwittingly unleashed his quirk—a devastating inferno that incinerated the villain and set off a chain reaction of chaos.
Mitsuki's grip tightens on Izuku's hand, her heart heavy with guilt and fear for her best friend's son's uncertain future.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER - DAY
IZUKU, clad in drab uniform, stares blankly at the imposing walls of his cell. The weight of his sentence—ten years—hangs heavy upon his young shoulders, a cruel testament to the capricious nature of justice.
The reasons for his harsh punishment loom large:
1. His parents, now lost to him forever, leaving him orphaned and alone.
2. His telekinetic quirk, deemed a volatile threat by the Quirk Association, deemed too dangerous to be left unchecked.
3. The sheer magnitude of his power, manifested at the tender age of five, deemed a potential hazard to society by the Quirk Police.
As Izuku grapples with the weight of his guilt and the uncertainty of his future, the world outside moves on, oblivious to the shattered innocence that lies behind cold, unforgiving bars.
INT. JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER - DAY
The air inside the juvenile detention center is heavy with the burden of past mistakes, a constant reminder of the young souls trapped within its walls. Izuku, once bright-eyed, now navigates the unfamiliar terrain of this new reality, his eyes dimmed by the shadows of trauma and uncertainty.
Satoshi Suzuki, the unwavering guardian of these lost children, keeps a watchful eye over his charges, serving as a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness. As Izuku steps into this unknown world, the weight of his solitude feels suffocating, pressing down on him like a heavy cloak.
SATOSHI
(voice gentle, reassuring)
Welcome, young one. You're among family here.
Izuku, filled with uncertainty, nods silently, words unspoken on his lips. The other juveniles, bearing the scars of their past, regard him with a mix of curiosity and wariness.
Izuku's awkwardness is palpable, his solitude amplified by the age gap between him and the others. Despite Satoshi's efforts to foster a sense of belonging, Izuku remains adrift in a sea of unfamiliar faces.
SATOSHI
(sympathetic)
Izuku, my boy, I see the turmoil within you. But fear not, for I am here to guide you through the darkness.
Determined to lift Izuku from the depths of his despair, Satoshi resolves to channel his energies into a new pursuit: martial arts.
CUT TO:
INT. TRAINING ROOM - DAY
Izuku stands before Satoshi, his resolve wavering like a flickering flame in the wind. With each passing day, he struggles to grasp the fundamentals of martial arts, his mind clouded by the shadows of forgotten memories.
SATOSHI
(voice gentle, yet firm)
Izuku, my boy, your journey begins here. But remember, true strength lies not in the mastery of technique, but in the indomitable spirit that resides within.
Izuku nods, his determination renewed by Satoshi's unwavering faith in him. With each stumble and fall, he rises again, his spirit unbroken by the weight of his past.
CUT TO:
INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - DAY
Satoshi, his concern etched upon his weathered features, sits beside Izuku as they await the doctor's diagnosis.
DOCTOR
(somber)
I'm afraid the trauma Izuku has endured has led to a rare condition known as retrograde amnesia.
Satoshi's heart sinks at the revelation, his hopes for Izuku's recovery dashed by the cruel hand of fate.
DOCTOR
(continuing)
At this rate, Izuku will forget everything before the accident within the next month.
Satoshi, though saddened by the news, sees a glimmer of opportunity amidst the darkness—a chance for Izuku to begin anew, unburdened by the weight of his past.
CUT TO:
INT. JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER - DAY
As the days pass, Satoshi becomes Izuku's steadfast companion, weaving the threads of trust and camaraderie between them. With each passing moment, Izuku's memories fade like whispers in the wind, leaving behind a blank canvas upon which to forge a new identity.
SATOSHI
(voice warm, encouraging)
You're not alone, Izuku. You have me, and together, we'll face whatever challenges come our way.
Izuku, his eyes alight with newfound determination, embraces this second chance with open arms, his journey towards redemption unfolding like the pages of an unwritten tale.
As Izuku's skills in martial arts flourish, so too does his spirit, unyielding in the face of adversity. Though the specter of loneliness still lingers, he refuses to be defined by his past, his heart a beacon of hope amidst the darkness.
And so, with each passing day, Izuku's tale of resilience and renewal takes flight, a testament to the unbreakable bonds forged in the crucible of adversity.
