• Uraraka Shige entered, bowed to AFO, tossed the wrapped severed hand to Shigaraki, and sarcastically described the trouble he had taken to return it.
• Uraraka Shige reminded Shigaraki not to lose the hand again, since Shigaraki had said the hands were his family.

Uraraka Shige recovered Shigaraki’s severed hand, then was sent by AFO to have his injuries treated while AFO spoke privately with Shigaraki. At the doctor’s filthy underground clinic, Uraraka Shige was restrained, and the doctor began treating his wound with a hammer and chisel.
