It's always fascinating how ordinary the Commission's main office appears to be. Aoi studies the building as she strides toward it, Inko, All Might and Kiyome with her, and Louis a faithful presence at her shoulder. It's just another office building, nothing important here. Doesn’t deserve a second look, keep on walking.

So unremarkable for a place that controls the remarkable.

“I hate this building,” Kiyome says softly, wings pulled tightly against her back. “This is where they would train Sora.”

Aoi’s lips thin. She knows for a fact there shouldn’t be any training rooms here. Todoroki Ryu had supposedly ordered them all shut twenty years ago according to the records Shina had given her. He’d done it as a way with currying favor with the then Prime Minister, and it had succeeded, at least for a time.

In the past forty years, there’d been three Directors of the Commission. Todoroki Ryu, who would have been Director when Sora and Kiyome had first been ‘sponsored’. Then Senju Madara, who would have had a four year term between Todoroki and Saito, stepped down for unknown reasons. And ever since then, Saito Hana had held the reins.

“There shouldn’t be any training rooms here,” All Might says, blue eyes shadowed. “They were supposed to shut twenty years ago, not long after I returned to Japan. I remember there being some sort of controversy Todoroki Ryu was trying to calm down in doing so.”
