Those who have read the original work and related fan fiction are likely familiar with 'AFO's' strength and identity, which have been described earlier, so I will not elaborate further here.

In short, given 'AFO's' strength and the diverse 'Quirk' abilities they've acquired, how could they not know about Uraraka Shige's appearance?

He had sensed Uraraka Shige's arrival the moment he Uraraka Shige into the building.

When Uraraka Shige, although the action was relatively sudden, it was still within his 'sight'... even though since his great battle with All Might, he had to use other ways of perception to observe his surroundings.

While 'AFO' can sense Uraraka Shige's presence and actions, this is due to his immense strength and the diverse abilities he has developed (plundered) based on his own 'Quirk'.

However, Shigaraki, his disciple and successor, and Kurogiri, whom he placed beside Shigaraki specifically to assist his disciple's growth, clearly do not possess this ability.

Especially the Shigaraki.

At this moment, Shigaraki's condition was not good, in fact, it could be described as extremely bad... After all, someone punched his 'father' in the face, sending it spiraling into the sky... This has led to Shigaraki's extremely unstable emotions, and he looks very irritable, like a powder keg filled with dry gunpowder, which could be ignited by even the slightest spark.

The sudden knocking at that moment was undoubtedly that spark of inspiration...

"Teacher... why... why is someone disturbing us... it's so annoying... please help me kill him! Whoever it is, please allow me to kill him, teacher!"

Shigaraki's voice was filled with intense anger, and he made no attempt to lower his voice, so Uraraka Shige it clearly.

When Uraraka Shige heard these words, they naturally ignited the flames of anger that Uraraka Shige.

Upon closer reflection...

Previously at 'USJ', Shigaraki almost revealed his name directly, ruining his plan to hide his identity from this group of 'heroes' and Ochaco.

Afterwards, he went to find the Power Loader and delay him, which was also a task assigned by Shigaraki. Although he didn't actually exert much effort, he still made an effort, so it can ultimately be considered that he completed it well...

However, Shigaraki and Kurogiri then abandoned him and left without sending him any message. It was as if they had abandoned their comrade and fled first...

Later, thanks to the timely arrival of the 'heroes', he suffered gunshot wounds to his right shoulder and left leg... Although it can't be said that this was entirely caused by Shigaraki and Kurogiri, he was still acting alongside Shigaraki, and yet he ended up like this.

Moreover, Uraraka Shige is a selfish person, so it's only natural for him to take his anger out on others!

Afterwards, he was on the run... and during his breakout, he found Shigaraki's missing severed hand... He could have completely ignored the severed hand, or even thrown it away along the way.

Although he had his own reasons for keeping the severed hand safe and taking it with him, the time and effort he put into it were genuine.

Not to mention that in order to help Shigaraki and Kurogiri hide that bar hideout, he deliberately concealed himself all the way from the mountains and forests to finally arrive at this quarry hideout, wasting a lot of time and causing his injuries to not be effectively treated and to continue to worsen. So now, even though he used his 'Quirk' to slightly adjust the Gravity near the wound, the wound still showed signs of considerable suppuration.

Even so... despite the fact that the two, Shigaraki, abandoned him first, leaving him in that dangerous place full of 'heroes,' he still went through a lot of hardships before returning to this stronghold.

But now, Shigaraki's first reaction upon hearing his own knocking is that he finds the knocking annoying and wants to kill him?

Although this is partly due to Shigaraki's current unusual state, and partly because Shigaraki might not know that the person outside the door is him, someone who has rushed back with great difficulty, and partly...

However, regardless of the circumstances, the resentment and anger that had been suppressed within Uraraka Shige two days was instantly ignited by Shigaraki's words. He wished he could activate his 'Quirk' to change Gravity around Shigaraki, torturing him until Shigaraki was unrecognizable and unable to breathe his last.

However, even so...

Ultimately, Uraraka Shige still did not do so.

Not only did he not do that, he ultimately suppressed his anger and readjusted his mindset... or at least it seems that he did.

Because his strength wasn't enough for him to do that... at least not enough to torture Shigaraki beyond recognition in front of 'AFO,' nor enough to keep Shigaraki alive and continue 'enjoying' the pain even after torturing him beyond recognition...

In fact, even without 'AFO' present, he probably couldn't have done that...

On the contrary, 'AFO' could easily do this... by replacing the tormented character with his own Uraraka Shige.

So even though anger was almost consuming her reason, Uraraka Shige ultimately calmed down... From the heart? No, what does "from the heart" mean? This isn't from the heart; this is what it means for a great man to bend and stretch, for a gentleman to take revenge even after ten years, for as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood...

Okay... never mind...

... Say what you will, Uraraka Shige doesn't intend to argue. So what if he's following his heart? It's a rare privilege to have a second life; of course he should cherish it...

Haven't many people said that being a coward can lead to success?

... And he will repay all of this sooner or later!

It's like the saying goes: repay injustice with justice, and repay kindness with kindness.

But he's a selfish guy... so he repays evil with evil and kindness with kindness!

Straightforward? Selfish people are never honest...

So Uraraka Shige gently pushed open the door, first bowing slightly to 'AFO' as a sign of politeness and respect, before taking out the tightly wrapped severed hand from the inner pocket of his cloak and throwing it at Shigaraki, while also retorting sarcastically to Shigaraki.

"Are you really going to kill me? I went through so much trouble, injured and hiding myself, to finally get back here, and even brought you a gift... This is truly disheartening~"

It sounds like a joke, but only the person directly involved knows just how infuriating it really is.

After that, Uraraka Shige spoke up and gave a particularly 'kind' hint.

"I went through so much trouble to bring 'him' back... You can't lose him again... After all, you said he's family..."
