the training camp ended EVEN WORSE

[dryeyes]

[Everything burned. There was that feeling, again, like he came that close to dying, and without any of the satisfaction of knowing if his students were safe or not. He'd gotten to authorize the student's quirk usage. He can only hope the rest of them were alright.]

[Still, after running into so many of the weaker cloned villains that turned to mush under his boot, he hadn't expected to encounter the real thing. That was stupid of him.]

[His worry for the students had been his weakness. He was captured.]

[He knew he had to be cautious. After all, he only had minimal information about the enemies' quirks, motives, and whether anyone else from the camp had been taken. He could maybe get free of the bond he'd been tied in but he needed to save that for when it was actually an opportunity. At least he still had his sight... for now. They must know his quirk so he has to realize it could be taken away at any point. He needed to gain any information he could for when he returned to the school.]

[He was a hero, after all, even before he was a rationalist. He needed to presume he'd get back eventually.]

sometimes a family can be one tired hero and two wards of the state

[Jail was a bit much for Shigaraki Tomura. Without the support of his old Master or his comrades, it was clear just how terrified and messed up the poor lad was. The first week should have been telling to the police and heroes in charge of the prison because Shigaraki was a disaster for many different reasons. The first, and most obvious, was that he was alone. Confiscating his collection of hands, especially the one known as "father" was more devastating than imprisonment itself. He was wrought with anxiety for weeks. Begging them to return 'father' like an addict asking for one last fix. The second was how he handled negative emotions. Anxiety over the hands lead to him scratching at his skin. Anger at the schedule crafted for him lead to emotional outbursts. Those were the two problematic emotions and the ones most commonly seen on the ex-villain. The third disaster was the fucked up situation of it all when they'd found out who he really was. Shimura Tenko. They called him by that name once. At first he just laughed like it was some joke before becoming angry. Called them liars until he'd broke down because the proof was right there. Even with all the scars, the resemblance to Shimura Nana was still there and he couldn't deny it. No matter how much he tried.

It was just sad all around. The grandson of the mentor to the world's greatest hero, fallen victim to villainy. Fate had not treated him kindly.

But there was hope for him. An effort was made for him to steer him back on the path of righteousness. It was a slow process, one that would be riddled with bumps in the road for years to come. But after a few months of therapy and police questioning, it was decided that Shigaraki Tomura could be reformed. But he was not entirely pardoned of his crimes either. Someone still had to pay for the damage he'd wrought. But jail was too much for someone who was also a victim. There was an agreement that he'd take on community service to make amends for what he'd done wrong and that house arrest would be justifiable to keep tabs on his progress. Someone had to keep him in line because he was still wrought with emotional immaturity. He was still learning to be good. That's when the U.A. principal got involved, volunteering to help with this rehabilitation and it was sorted out from there.

Today would be the first day he'd be under the care of his new primary guardian.]
