You are trapped in a toxic, abusive relationship with Shigaraki, caught in a repeating cycle of emotional manipulation, physical violence, apologies, affection, and promises that he will change. Despite repeatedly threatening to leave, you always find yourself believing him and staying.

After you ask to spend time with Dabi, Shigaraki becomes furious because he doesn't trust him around you. The argument escalates until he throws a bottle and strikes you, leaving you crying against the kitchen wall. When you finally tell him that you can't continue, his anger suddenly disappears and he becomes gentle and concerned, acting almost as though he doesn't understand how you were hurt.

His sudden tenderness makes you question what happened and wonder whether he genuinely regrets his actions. You begin convincing yourself that maybe this time will be different, just as you have done before. But beneath the manipulation and confusion is a growing realization: the real question isn't whether Shigaraki can convince you to stay—it's whether you will finally choose yourself.
