  Summary

  Midoriya Izuku, an esteemed lawyer who's hot on the tails of burnout, has been given another case to further destroy the fragile ecosystem that is his life. The case seems distressing and simple- but he dedicates 110% to it nonetheless. As he delivers his opening speech, however, he realises that justice isn't the only thing he's fighting for. There's a war within himself. This one, he's not sure he can win.

  TLDR; Prosecution lawyer Izuku is struggling with the stress of his job and Bakugou Katsuki is both his final straw and his saving grace.
