It's happening again! My mind kept screaming at me as I fought to stay awake against the pain I was feeling at the moment. I didn't want to give Shigaraki the satisfaction of seeing me crack under the pressure. The problem was, I could already feel myself forgetting things. I hadn't fully recovered all my memories after I was saved by All Might, little things like my childhood and names, but I could already feel things that I knee were important slipping away. I can't forget who I am! My brain latched onto a face. That's all I needed to remember. I just had to think of Uraraka. Then I wouldn't lose my mind. She had always been so nice to me and supported my dream. I had to at least remember her!

More things were slipping away. Uraraka. Uraraka. Uraraka! UA. All Might. Enemy. NO! UA. Uraraka. Ura...Ur...U?

My eyes popped open. "No!"

"Just give it up."

I jumped. Dabi was standing next to me. The pain had stopped for the moment. "It'll be easier if you stop trying to remember things."

I shook my head. "B-but she's my friend. I don't want to forget her..."

"I think you just did," Dabi said.

"N-no I didn't!"

"Oh yeah?" Dabi leaned down so he was face to face with me. "What's her name?"

"U...Ura..." I struggled for a minute before I remembered at least one part. "Ochako!"

"Calling a girl by her given name? How rude." He leaned over the machine and turned it on again. "Best to forget her name all together..."

"Wait, no-ahrggg!!!!" The pain was worse this time. It almost instantly knocked me out.

When I came to, i heard two people arguing.

"-is a delicate process! You can't go from one to one hundred that fast!"

"So what if he loses a few brain cells? Isn't that the point?"

"You're going to make him brain dead if you go to fast. That's why it took so long last time. Idiot."

"Shh! Lil' Izuku's awake!" Came a different voice, a female this time.

Three figures loomed above me. I shrunk away, but I was strapped down. There was no way to escape.

"What's your name?"

"I-Izuku Midoriya?"

"How old are you?"

"16?"

"When's your birthday?"

"I-I don't know."

"Who am I?"

"Shigaraki Tomura."

"Where did you go to school?"

"...U...UA High?"

"He still knows." Shigaraki turned to the man besides him. "Turn on the machine again."

"Huh? W-wait! Please...please don't. It, it hurts so...so much!"

"Tomura, can I take him for a little bit? I wanna ask him questions too!" The girl smiled. She had blood in her teeth. "And I want him to try what I cooked for him! I worked really hard on it!"

"Not now, Toga." Shigaraki said in a gruff voice.

"But he looks so hungry-"

"Not now!" Shigaraki yelled. "Besides, he would just puke up whatever you have him. He can eat after he's on our side. Dabi, turn it on."

"P-please don't! I, I don't want it! It hurts!!" I was crying, but I didn't care. Anything to stop the pain.

"Deal with it." Then he flipped the switch and I was back to being in a world of pain.
