    Summary

    Collapsing metal and concrete turns the competitor's arena into one of grief and pain. Maimed and buried, bleeding and burned, there are survivors trapped all throughout the rubble. Some are in large groups, shielded by other's quirks. Some are in small groups, isolated and trapped, unable to move on their own. Some, alone, teeter between barely living and barely injured- saved only by an instinctive reaction and the skill of their quirk. It isn't just the physical injuries that leave jagged, open wounds behind. No one walks away from this unscathed; not even those who know no death.

    ----

    Katsuki refuses to believe Izuku is really gone. He will find him. He will find him. Izuku isn't dead. He is not dead. He can't be.

    At least, so Katsuki believes.
