"Ahh! AAAHHH!!!!" A's scream made B quiver in fear from where he was. B begged for forgiveness again and again, begging Michiyo not to hurt his brother anymore. 

The fire was strong and burning the skin, the skin screamed for help as it began to burn and layers under the skin slowly making way to meet oxygen.

"Alright, let's do this. Say 'I'm sorry' 1000 times and I will stop." Michiyo said to B.

B started to apologize again and again. The speed of the apologies came out one after another in desperation. Michiyo wondered if B was serious about the apology. Either way, she had no intentions of keeping her promise. Just like the way they never gave her a way out, she will not give them a way out either.

"Huh?" The four men were playing poker and they stopped when Michiyo suddenly started speaking from her chains. 

She couldn't use her Quirk because C had his foot on her shoulder. She was always on all fours, they told her she had no rights to stand like a human and she's better off looking like a dog. 

"L-listen. It's really painful...p-please let me go home." 

"Huh? What are you talking about? Your parents sold you to us, this is your home." D said to her, his patience growing thin because his hand was bad this round.

"T-then let me go to an orphanage or something." 

"How are you going to explain why you never went to them this whole time?" 

Michiyo searched for an excuse. "I...I was enjoying my time in T-Tokyo or something..." 

"In dirty clothes and no money?!" A threw his cards down and he got right up. 

Michiyo cowered to the ground and she begged again and again, "Please! Please! Let me go! I won't tell anyone what happened here! I swear it with my life! I won't tell a soul! I just want to go!" 

"No!" A kicked her in the face, knocking her to the wall! "I won't let you go! You'll just tell the police!" 

"I swear I won't!" 

"Shut up!" A kicked her again and again, making sure to beat the sense of leaving out of her. "I won't let you leave! You'll stay here until you're finished with your life!" 

She shielded her face as best as she could as the assault escalated for no reason. She cried at the pain, secretly begging again and again for someone to save her from this hell.

All four men forgot about playing poker and now proceeded to beat the living hell out of her again. After they were done with the beating, they took turns to use her body for their satisfaction...

Her distress, the endless horror that felt like a bad coma, and her peaceful life of innocence that ended in sexual ruin...she will make sure to pay it back to them. She used a very sharp diamond spike and she began to puncture holes onto A's back. She made sure the spike was dug right into the back before pulling it back up and then stabbing it in again. She did it again and again, a satisfied smile gracing her face each time she saw the redness of blood. Michiyo stopped what she was doing, once she was tired and bored,she kicked the book away and she encased the book in diamonds to stop the fire from spreading, and she walked over to the stairs. "If you try to escape, I'll cut your precious thing off and feed it to the dogs. Don't push my limits, I need my rest too." She kicked A in the face again. She found it disgusting that the man would cry out in pain; was he expecting her to feel sympathy for him? Because she will not. "If I hear one more noise, I'll make you swallow diamond dust. Do you have any idea how painful it is to breathe in something and then have it scratch you from the inside? I heard it on the news once: a guy was no longer getting the kick out of cocaine, so he mashed up glass into a powder-like substance and then he inhaled it like normal. He started to bleed the nose, eyes, ears, and throat...he died in an instant. Don't push me to my limit." 

Making her way up the wooden stairs, she needed to put a hand against the concrete wall. She was still a little scared because she was facing her torturers all by herself. She went down by herself because she wanted to prove that she was strong and she could stand by her own two feet and deal with everything withher own two hands. 'Why am I still scared? I can't be scared, they're in the wrong in the very first place!'

The hatch opened and it was Dabi. Dabi held his hand out to her, the light shining behind him made him look like an angel, an angel of death. 

"Dabi?" 

"You went and did a good job, didn't you?" 

His hand was within her reach and she reached out for it.

Dabi pulled her away from the darkness and he wiped away the little bit of blood from her face. He went and closed the hatch and re-lock it again; it didn't really matter if one of them escaped from their chains because they wouldn't be able to open the lock. 

She didn't say a thing and she hugged him. She closed her eyes and she breathed in his scent. She needed him to give herself assurance and keep her sanity with her. 

"What's wrong?" 

"I want to be held." 

"I see." And embracing her he did. He kept his arms around her and he rubbed her back. "No matter how scared you are, you need to remember what you're doing is rescuing yourself. You are your own hero, and you are saving yourself." He said to her, his eyes closed and his voice was calm as he explained why those men deserved nothing but the worse. 

"Hm." Michiyo sighed in comfort, wanting nothing more but to stay in his arms like this...

The next day, Michiyo was cooking pancakes. She was following the instructions on the package carefully; Dabi and Mr. Compress will be eating breakfast with her and Ichinose after all. 

Meanwhile, Mr. Compress and Ichinose were talking to Dabi about Michiyo. Ichinose and Mr. Compress wanted Michiyo to live a normal life, they wanted her to live a peaceful life of a civilian who was innocently unaware of the dangers around her. After all, she was born in a normal family and had lived a normal life before...it's not too late for her to go back to where she once belonged. 

"You make it sound like I am trapping her to be with me." Dabi said to both men. 

"We're not saying that." Ichinose explained, "I just...I just think she is better off living a normal life." 

"She's happy where she is now." 

"Are you sure you are not keeping her for your own self-interest?" Mr. Compress challenged. "Dabi, you could have saved her by leaving her at an orphanage or the police...but you never did that. You never did anything to give her a normal life." 

It was true; Dabi could have placed her at the police station or an orphanage. He didn't have to place her with Ichinose, a villain who was at the same time an unprofessional priest. 

"It's because she was living in such a world that she suffered." Dabi drank the tea that Michiyo made for everyone. For someone who only started to work her way through the kitchen, he thought she was improving a lot. "If her Quirk wasn't like the way it is, her parents wouldn't have thought about exchanging her. If her Quirk wasn't like this, she wouldn't have been used as a sponge to soak off sins." 

"W-what kind of twisted logic is that?" Ichinose challenged, "What's that got to do with you not being responsible for her wellbeing?" 

"It's because I am looking out for her wellbeing that I placed her here." 

Tension was high in the air and it's only early morning. Were they all about to fight? 

"You all said you want three pancakes. I have four on my plate, and I don't plan to share." Michiyo came back to them with trays full of pancakes. "Huh?" For a moment, she thought she sensed bloodlust. 

"Michiyo," Dabi was scarily calm, which frightened both men a little, "Good morning." 

She smiled like a normal and innocent girl, "Hm, good morning~." It was as if she never went to torture anyone last night. 

How could she not sleep well? She slept in his embrace...
