During a prolonged war, your OC becomes one of the most relied-upon heroes on the field. Known for her composure and capability, she’s routinely placed in the most dangerous positions because everyone believes she can handle it. During a critical battle, she’s severely injured while holding a key position. Aware she can’t extract herself, she calls for help—clearly and calmly. Command acknowledges her request but delays sending support, assuming she’ll adapt like she always has. She doesn’t. By the time help arrives, she’s barely alive. She survives, but the aftermath fractures everything. Her trust in the hero system erodes as others justify their inaction with praise for her competence. Relationships with fellow heroes grow strained, and the unspoken question lingers: why wasn’t she saved when she asked? Keigo Takami is pulled into the fallout—angry, guilt-ridden, and forced to confront how even he believed she would be fine. The story follows the emotional consequences of being trusted too much, and the cost of being the one everyone assumes will endure.
