"What are we doing?" You ask as you sit on the couch. You know Dabi did something to you. Ever since your mental breakdown, you've been on sedatives and antidepressants. The dosage wasn't high enough to kill you, but enough to make you submissive. Most of the time, you were sleepy and loopy, processing things much slower than you normally did.

Thanks to the medicine, Dabi knows you don't stand a chance escaping. So he lets you hang around the hideout, which is nice. You don't have those painful handcuffs digging into you anymore, and don't have to stay in the wet, cold, basement.

"Today we're going to make a little video." He says as he sets up a tripod in front of the couch. "A video?"

You repeat in confusion. "Yeah, a video. Something the whole world's gonna see. Everyone's going to see the truth, and know that you're mine."

He presses a small peck to your lips, before turning back to the recorder and hitting a button, that turns on a red light, signaling that the recording has started.

Then, he sits back on the couch, taking a deep breath as he mentally prepares. He's been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"I'm not very known around here. I live in the shadows and I'm tired of hiding. Some of you may know me as Dabi..but that's not my real name. My name is Touya Todoroki. I have a great name. Some of you may know me as Enji Todoroki's late son..I'm here to tell you the truth about the Todoroki family, and this world."

His words are fuzzy, and you're phasing in and out, struggling to listen to what he's saying. You're still hanging on to his tone, watching his movements. He seems passionate and angry, his anger in that rare stage where it's truly terrifying. He's practically trembling with rage.

"The Todoroki family is built on lies. Of course, I have to thank my dear old Dad for making me how I am, with his neglect and abuse. I was just another screw up to him, just like my other siblings. But poor little Shouto had it the worse. It's my Mom's fault too...to sick and fragile to do anything to stop him. lies. They're not the picture perfect family you see in the media. They're all liars."

He waits a moment for the footage he programmed into the recorder to go through, before continuing to speak. "This whole world is corrupt, with this ridiculous pompous society. I was recently with a group to help change this, but now I'm doing it on my own...well, not without the help of my precious accomplice, (y/n) (l/n)."

He throws an arm around you, pulling you close to him and into his lap. You perk up when you hear him call your name.

"Smile for the camera, baby." He whispers into your ear, squeezing your cheeks together. "Isn't she beautiful? She's all mine too. I'm so lucky. I couldn't have gotten away with it without her. You see, the arson murders were our doing. I've been killing people for a long time before, but she wanted to join in on the fun."

"Let's see, who else did we kill? Let me list it out. Your friends, Keigo Takami and Natsuo Todoroki. That was pretty fucked..I mean, you had me kill my own brother. We also killed Tomura Shigaraki and Spinner, but they're not important."

You're confused. You didn't kill these people. Touya did. Why is he blaming you? This all feels wrong.

You squirm around in his hold, but he manages to keep you still with an iron grip on your waist. He smirks at the camera menacingly. "And we have so much more to do, don't we? Get ready, because we're coming for you. We're coming for you all."

With that, he grabs the camera, stopping the recording and shutting it off. He turns back to you with a big grin. "That was perfect, doll. You did so good. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, 'm just tired." You murmur, feeling the tears welling up in your eyes. You want to cry, but you're too exhausted to even do that.

"Alright, let's get you to bed."

Touya's video goes viral overnight, becoming an internet sensation. Millions of people have viewed it, including Miruko.

She stays up all night watching the confession of her friend's murder over and over again. She can't believe you would do something like this. It can't be true. There's no way it could be.

Miruko doesn't know you well, but from what she does know, you don't act like this. Especially not with the way Keigo described you. He loved you so much...and Miruko you felt something for him too, especially with how worried you were about his disappearance. That couldn't have been just an act, could it?

She's studied your body language and mannerisms in the video, practically having them memorized. You seem spacey, like you're on drugs or heavily medicated. For a good amount of it, you're staring off into the distance, seemingly not picking up on what Dabi says.

And when he touches you, you don't seem to like it much, flinching ever so slightly. Especially when he starts talking about who the two of you have allegedly killed. It almost seems like you're bothered by it, wanting to move away from him but he forces you close to him.

At one freeze frame when you're scratching your face, she notices that your knuckles are bruised. She also notices the red circles around your wrists...marks that could only be explained by handcuffs.

Something is wrong. Something is very, very wrong. She's known it ever since you haven't shown up to classes. She knew you were either really depressed or something bad happened.

She has to do something. She has to find you. She has to help you. Not just for Keigo, but for herself as well. She's going to find you, and she's going to save you, where ever you are. And she's going to make sure Touya rots in prison.

(A/N: Yayyy Miruko to save the day!
