Prologue

"I had everything... I had everything but the thing that, deep down, I wanted the most... I wanted to die."

Not all wars are tangible. Shoto Todoroki might argue that his internal wars are far more excruciating than the traumatizing wars he fought in, but what if the loving support he receives and the damaging coping methods he utilizes aren't enough to save him from the true enemy of his own war?
