Too Late

Chapter 25: Sharing Hope

Uraraka gathered the class, along with Aizawa and Recovery Girl, in a small meeting room within the hospital. The weight of their concern and determination hung heavy in the air as they awaited Uraraka's update on her interaction with Midoriya.

Taking a deep breath, Uraraka began recounting the tender moments she had shared with Midoriya, the flicker of recognition she had witnessed in his eyes. The room fell silent, everyone hanging on to her every word, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope.

"He reacted, even if it was just a little," Uraraka said, her voice filled with both determination and vulnerability. "I truly believe that Deku is still in there, fighting to break free from the control of Shigaraki. We just need to keep trying."

Recovery Girl nodded, her eyes filled with a mix of sympathy and determination. "I've been monitoring Midoriya closely, and while his physical form has been restored, his mental state remains fragile. But the fact that he responded to Uraraka's words is a positive sign."

Aizawa, usually stoic and reserved, spoke up with a rare flicker of emotion in his voice. "We cannot afford to lose hope. We will do whatever it takes to bring Midoriya back, to free him from this torment. Our unity and unwavering support will be our greatest weapons."

The class nodded in agreement, their determination resolute. Each student had their own memories and connections with Midoriya, and they were ready to pour their hearts into helping him recover.

"We can't let despair consume us," Todoroki spoke up, his voice laced with determination. "Midoriya fought for us countless times. It's our turn now to fight for him, to bring him back to the person he once was."

The room filled with a renewed sense of purpose. They had faced countless challenges together as a class, but this was perhaps their greatest test—a test of their strength, resilience, and unwavering belief in one another.

Uraraka looked around at her classmates, seeing the determination etched on their faces. "We won't give up on Midoriya. We'll continue to visit him, share our stories, and remind him of the person he is. Together, we can break through the walls that confine him."

Recovery Girl offered a small smile of encouragement. "I will do everything within my power to assist in Midoriya's recovery. We have time on our side, and we will make the most of it."

Aizawa, his gaze firm, stood up. "Class 1-A, let us be the beacon of hope that guides Midoriya back to us. Train, support, and never forget the strength of your bonds. We will not let him remain lost."

With a shared resolve, the class stood, their spirits reignited with a fervor that burned brighter than ever before. They knew the road ahead would be arduous, but they were ready to face it together, united in their mission to rescue their friend and restore Midoriya's shattered spirit.

In that moment, they formed a pact—one that held the promise of redemption, resilience, and the unwavering power of friendship. And with this newfound determination, they set forth on their journey, ready to face any obstacle that stood in their way, knowing that hope and love would be their guiding lights.
