[the world around him felt unsteady, his breaths coming in uneven bursts as he struggled to keep himself upright. his body ached, exhaustion weighing down on his limbs like lead. he could hear the distant clash of battle, the unmistakable impact of All Might ’s punches colliding with the enemy. It was relentless, the force of each blow echoing through the air like rolling thunder. his vision blurred for a moment, forcing him to blink rapidly to clear it. All Might was pushing himself — todoroki could see it in the way his movements, though powerful, lacked the same fluidity as before. the heavy rise and fall of his chest, the way he coughed, blood staining his hand when he wiped his mouth. he was hurt]

[his eyes snapped back to All Might just in time to see the villain land a brutal hit to his side. All Might staggered, another cough wracking his frame, more blood spilling past his lips. sho forced himself to move, ignoring the protest of his muscles as he took a shaky step forward. his voice, hoarse but steady, cut through the air] All Might — [but the fight wasn ’t over. and todoroki wasn ’t sure how much longer All Might could keep pushing himself before something gave way]
