Reporting Officer: The Nomu we captured are just as unresponsive as the last ones. They're basically mindless animals. We haven't gotten any new info from them. The warehouse they were kept in was completely destroyed. We'll continue our investigation, of course, but we don't know how much data we can collect. 

Police Chief: And we haven't gotten any worthwhile information from the bar at all?

Reporting Officer: We're still looking into that, sir.

Police offers: We apprehended all the Nomu, sure, but we let most of the perpetrators, including Shigaraki, slip through our fingers. Honestly, even though we captured their boss, I'd have to say this whole thing was a draw.

Police Chief: Don't be stupid. Our country just lost the Symbol of Peace. All Might's weakened body has been exposed to the world. Everyone knows the indestructible hero can be defeated now. The citizens and the villains.

Police officers: It's what we get for relying too much on one pro hero.

Police Chief: People now know they can raise hell with just a handful of thugs. Hate to think what that might inspire. Our initial profile of Tomura Shigaraki described him as childish and prone to tantrums, but that's obviously changed. His plans are growing more strategic. He now appears to be focused on how he can mold our society. His thought process has evolved. Matured. And since All Might's out of the picture, we've lost our biggest deterrent to criminal activity. Each time the League fails, they come back stronger. And now, Shigaraki can greatly expand his sphere of influence.

Cop 1: Are you suggesting that all of this was part of the League's plan?

Cop 2: That does sound like quite a leap.

Police Chief: We don't know. There's only one thing I can say for certain. We must capture the League of Villains, no matter what. As the police, we have to be more proactive in apprehending villains. We are not just backup. It's time we implement changes.

All Might: The embers inside of me have been snuffed out. The mighty Symbol of Peace is no more. However... I won't just sit here. There's still something I must do.

Tomura Shigaraki. Shimura's grandson. Yes?

Tsukauchi: The only proof we have of that is what All For One said. It's not much to go on. The two of you didn't have any interactions with Shimura's family, even though you were so close to her?

No.

Tsukauchi: But why not?

It happened soon after Shimura's husband was killed. Concerned, she put her child in foster care to shield the youngster from the hero world. She told Toshinori and me that she didn't want us to have any contact with the kid, even if something terrible were to happen to her.

Tsukauchi: And in the end, your promise backfired, huh? I'm sorry to hear that.

All might: My master gave up her heart so that her family might know a life full of peace. I must track Shigaraki down as soon as possible. I'll find him, and then—

Then what? Give him a pat on the head? You're not looking at him like the villain he is anymore. That's dangerous. Remember that, no matter his lineage, he's still a criminal. Tsukauchi and I will investigate Shigaraki and the League without you for now. You stay at UA. You still have many responsibilities there. Even if you cannot be the Symbol of Peace that you once were, don't forget that All Might is still alive.

Deku: (After the fight, we met up with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. The five of us took Kacchan to meet the police. The whole way there, he was silent. And then, after our worlds had been turned upside down, we finally went home.)
