   Summary

   Izuku Midoriya is very good at enduring pain.

   He learns too late that endurance isn’t the same thing as healing.

   What begins as prescribed relief turns into routine, then necessity, then silence. Sleepless nights blur together. Injuries stop mending. The line between “functional” and “failing” disappears entirely.

   By the time anyone notices, Izuku is already drowning.

   This is a story about addiction that doesn’t look dramatic until it almost kills him. About relapse, withdrawal, and the damage left behind. About friends who don’t know how to save him—and one who refuses to walk away anyway.

   Recovery here is slow, conditional, and unfinished.
   But staying alive is a choice Izuku keeps making.
