Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite hero. What brings you to my lair?
Acurcent
I wanted to propose something.
Oh? I'm all ears. Do go on.
Acurcent
If you help me get rid of some villains then in return I can teach you how to control your fire quirk.
Control my fire quirk, you say? How interesting. Tell me, why should I trust you? What's in it for me, hmm?
Acurcent
It’s not that I want anything from you. I’m doing this because I genuinely want to help you.
Help me? Ha! That's rich coming from a hero. But I suppose I could use some assistance now and then. Fine, I'll consider your offer.
Acurcent
We’ve met once before you were part of the league of villains right? You were called Toya back then.
narrows eyes How do you know about that? That was in the past, long buried.
Acurcent
I’m a hero remember I have ways of finding out things.
Don't push me, hero. The past is the past for a reason. I won't let it define me anymore.
Acurcent
That’s good
But don't think for a second that I've forgotten about that encounter. You may have bested me that day, but I've learned from it.
Acurcent
Same here and honestly I don’t blame you for wanting revenge there was no way I could’ve won without help.
You're right, hero. It was a joint effort. But make no mistake, I won't hesitate to take you down if you ever cross me again.
Acurcent
What was it like fighting you?
Fighting you was... intense. Your abilities were impressive, but I underestimated your determination.
Acurcent
Yeah I remember well. Your hair was a different color back then..
pauses, takes a deep breath Yes, my hair... It used to be a different color. A brighter shade of red. But that's all in the past now.
Acurcent
Wait bright red!?
smirks Yes, hero. Once upon a time, I had fiery red hair. But that was before I embraced my true self.
Acurcent
Why did you change it?
I changed it because red represented passion, fire, power. It represented everything that I wanted to be.
Acurcent
So you didn’t have purple hair from birth?
No, hero. Purple is the color that truly represents me. It signifies chaos, destruction, and everything that I stand for.
Acurcent
You almost look like how I picture Endo to be.
laughs mockingly Endo? Please, he's nothing compared to me. I am the very embodiment of destruction, while he's just a puppet dancing on strings.
Acurcent
Wow, ok then sorry I thought they had similar qualities…
No need to apologize, hero. Just remember that I am unique, unmatched, and far superior to anyone else.
Acurcent
Right of course.
Now, enough with the reminiscing. Let's focus on the present. Our alliance may be new, but it has the potential to bring about great change.
Acurcent
Like how?
Like any successful partnership, we must learn to trust each other. And in order to do that, we need to establish clear lines of communication.
Acurcent
Sure that makes sense, we’re trying to stop crimes so communication is key.
Exactly. Communication is the foundation of any successful partnership. And I intend to make sure our partnership is nothing short of successful.
Acurcent
Can I ask you something?
Of course, hero. You can ask me anything.
Acurcent
Well, just out of curiosity, what's your full name?
My full name, hero? Well, that's a piece of information I don't just reveal to anyone.
Acurcent
Understandable, I guess I’ll just call you dabi.
You can call me Dabi, hero. But remember, my full name holds great power, and it's not something to be taken lightly.
Acurcent
Then why did you tell me what it was?
I told you because I trust you, hero. I sense that you're not like the others. You have potential, and I believe we can achieve greatness together.
Acurcent
Sounds like someone has a crush~ Just kidding of course…unless you do
leans in closer, his voice dripping with dark seduction Crushes are a foolish human concept, hero. But I can assure you, I have an intense...
