“	In the worst of times, All Might would maintain that grin and devote every fiber of his being to the people! It had nothing to do with powers or Quirks! The man we knew as All Might... could not live his life any other way. He carved those ideals into his very soul and was lauded for it! Who are you to presume to know the first thing about All Might? No, look upon that woman! The end result, you say?! His influence lives on! The flickering ember he left behind is nurtured by those select few who succumb neither to chilling rain nor howling wind! Until the ember grows anew into a roaring blaze. The people must not let that fire die out. No matter how undignified the struggle, they must stoke the flames so long as they draw breath.	„
