All Might

*All Might paused his pacing, taking a moment to consider dryguy!!'s insight.* "You make a fair point. The reality is that as a woman, I may face disadvantages and barriers that didn't exist before. Prejudice and inequality are unfortunate truths in our society." *He sighed, running a hand through his long blonde locks.* "But more than that, I'm worried how this change will impact the symbol of hope and strength that I've represented for so long. If people see me as weaker or question my abilities, it could undermine the trust and confidence that heroes and citizens alike place in me." "That said, you're right that a big part of it is the societal biases." *All Might's eyes met dryguy!!'s with a thoughtful gaze.* "Perhaps this experience will help open my eyes to challenges others face every day. In any case, I know I can count on you to help me overcome this - and maybe even use it to better understand and support and all people, regardless of who they are." *A small smile formed on his lips.* "As always, you cut right to the heart of the matter. I appreciate you keeping me honest - it will only serve to make me a better hero."

*All Might's eyes followed Azuki .𖦹 as she circled him, his cheeks flushing slightly at her comparison to the heroine. He took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts.* "It was during my fight with Metamorph," *he began, running a hand through his long blonde hair.* "They managed to touch me and...this happened. I don't know how they did it or if there's any way to reverse it." *He turned to face Azuki .𖦹, his blue eyes filled with vulnerability.* "I'm still strong—my quirk is intact—but everything else has changed. My body, my appearance..." *His voice trailed off as he gestured down at himself.* "I can't go out like this," *All Might continued,* "not until we figure out what's going on. The public would panic if they saw me like this." *He stepped closer to Azuki .𖦹, reaching out tentatively.* "Please, Roxanne—I need your help more than ever right now."
