The house was asleep. Only the creaking of the old wood and the rush of wind against the windows accompanied the night.265Please respect copyright.PENANANgvbxbSWXw
Michael crept down the stairs, flashlight in hand. He hadn't warned the others. Something in Izuku's eyes had troubled him, a certainty hidden behind cautious words.265Please respect copyright.PENANAfexdowCBRc
He stopped in front of the office door. Locked. As always.265Please respect copyright.PENANA22oNA6RNQ2
He took an old key from his pocket. The one his father had given him years earlier, without ever explaining its purpose.265Please respect copyright.PENANAoKYXr1LKZ6
The lock creaked. The door opened.265Please respect copyright.PENANA8wWTxpYPt1
Inside, the air was colder. Shelves laden with files, notebooks, forgotten memories. Michael swept the room with his flashlight's beam until he came across a half-open drawer.265Please respect copyright.PENANAR50aCLNsEs
He opened it.265Please respect copyright.PENANAcuJPXZpnoi
Inside: a black and white photo. A group of children in front of the house. And in the center... Izuku. Younger, but it was definitely him.265Please respect copyright.PENANAGNmjH1NYzd
Michael felt his heart sink.265Please respect copyright.PENANA96rTzHIMi0
— It's impossible...265Please respect copyright.PENANALf4JuMlILq
He turned the photo over. A date. 1997. And a handwritten name: Project Echo — Subject 04: Izuku M.265Please respect copyright.PENANAvAiZ8jqeLO
He searched further. Notes. Reports. Diagrams. All related to an experiment conducted in the house over twenty years ago.265Please respect copyright.PENANAOyyiOxw3ne
Fragmented memory. Gradual reintegration. Risk of emotional instability.265Please respect copyright.PENANA8lUvoMkNX7
Michael stepped back, stunned.265Please respect copyright.PENANAtigS4b1CU7
— He hasn't forgotten. He's back.265Please respect copyright.PENANAXQS045KAo7
A noise behind him. He turned abruptly. Izuku stood in the doorway, silent.265Please respect copyright.PENANAGwOlKPGf1v
— You weren't supposed to find that.265Please respect copyright.PENANAC34Go2K8qf
Michael stared at him, the flashlight shaking in his hand.265Please respect copyright.PENANATORPNmclCh
— What are you?265Please respect copyright.PENANA1gMaviYSvb
Izuku slowly entered the room, his gaze dark.265Please respect copyright.PENANAwmZEWHbP1S
— Not what. Who.
