As Tamaki slowly opened his eyes, he felt a dizzy and heavy sensation in his head. Gradually standing up from the hard concrete floor, he surveyed his surroundings and realized he was in an unknown area. The only source of light was from above his head, and it left a spotlight around him. The light did not extend beyond this circle, creating an eerie atmosphere, like in a horror game. Tamaki felt a light breeze and hugged himself, shivering in the cold. Suddenly, he heard whispers in the wind, and his ears perked up. He looked around and saw a shadow lurking in the darkness. The figure had tiny, glowing yellow eyes that seemed to pierce his soul. Tamaki stepped back, feeling scared and unsure of what to do. However, the blackened figure stopped at the ring of light surrounding Tamaki, catching his attention. He looked up at the light and felt slightly safer. Straightening up, he glared at the figure's eyes, his voice filled with anger. 

"What do you want from me?!"

Tamaki was then surrounded by whispers that gradually grew louder and soon turned into laughter. The noise seemed to be coming from all directions, and even the shadow in front of him appeared to be laughing. He felt a sense of overwhelming anxiety, and his reaction was to frown and cover his ears, hoping to block out the noise and curl up on the ground. However, the sudden cessation of the uproar made him feel more at ease, and he cautiously opened his eyes. To his surprise, the shadow was staring at him with a smile that seemed to radiate a luminous glow. Suddenly, a loud sound followed by the snap of the light startled Tamaki, and before he could react, the figure grabbed him from within the shared darkness.

"H-Huh-?! No- Let me go-!" Tamaki cried in fear before feeling his mouth being covered by the shadows. 

As the shadow gradually enveloped him, Tamaki began to struggle. His body was consumed by the darkness, and tears streamed down his face. He could barely see his surroundings, and he shook violently in an attempt to free himself from the shadow's grasp. The weight of the dark matter surrounding him felt invasive and frightening as if every inch of his body was being touched. The lack of visible surroundings only intensified his sense of being trapped. Tamaki's strength began to wane and his legs gave out, causing him to catch himself with his hands before collapsing to his side. As Tamaki hugged himself in the shadows, he winced and cried out in pain. He saw haunting, glowing yellow eyes that soon faded from his vision. Breathing became difficult and the suffocating shadows around him made it hard to fight back. Eventually, he gave in and stopped struggling.

Tamaki tried to open his eyes, but the bright light and ringing in his ears made him shut them again. He let out a whine of annoyance and tried to sit up, but his head was pounding so he hung his head low instead. As his vision and hearing cleared, he looked and saw that he was covered by a light blue blanket and wearing a hospital gown. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling for a nurse in concern and joy. He looked up and saw Mirio, Fatgum, Aizawa, some of class 1-A, and Hado standing around his bed. Mirio was practically yelling for the nurse to come up.

"Hey there, kiddo. Are you feeling okay?" Fatgum asked, visibly concerned.

Tamaki looked up at Fatgum and gave a nod before asking, "What...happened to me?"

"Togata contacted us and told us that you were staring at something in the hallway before collapsing. Do you have any idea what you saw?" Aizawa inquired.

Tamaki hesitated before taking a deep breath and whispering the name of the figure that he had seen. Everyone's eyes locked onto him with a mixture of anger, fear, and utter shock.

"I believe it was him," Tamaki muttered, looking down.

"But isn't he in prison? Are you sure it was him?" Midoriya asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but the figure looked exactly like him, with the same build and yellow eyes," Tamaki replied, feeling ashamed.

"C'mon, man. He couldn't have been there," Kirishima urged, locking eyes with Tamaki.

Tamaki just shrugged softly, "Everything felt so real...yet, it was like a nightmare."

When Mirio returned to the room, a kind nurse came along with him, which made Aizawa and Fatgum exchange nods. They both looked at Tamaki with concern and said, "Rest here, Amajiki. We're going to quickly investigate something." 

"Don't worry, Suneater. I'll bring you some food when Eraser and I come back," Fatgum added.

Tamaki nodded softly, feeling safe and comforted in the room with his friends. The class 1-A students were curious and followed Aizawa and Fatgum, while Kirishima, Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Midoriya stayed behind with Mirio and Hado in watching Tamaki. The younger ones went and sat on the couch in Tamaki's hospital room while Mirio stayed by the nurse and Hado was on the opposite side of the bed, giving Tamaki a cheeky smile to make him smile. It worked a bit as his vitals were worked on by the nurse, making sure nothing in Tamaki's body was urgent physically.

"Alright, Mr.Amajiki. Imma let you rest for a while. Your vitals are in good condition, but we have you under watch to see if you have any more of those episodes." The nurse said with a soft smile.

Tamaki's eyes widened a bit in fear, but calmed down enough to ask, "W-wait, you'll be keeping me here...? How long?"

The nurse perked a bit as she locked eyes with Tamaki, "Unless you have another episode, you'll be staying with us for about a week under watch before being sent home. You will have to report it to us or have a friend do so if what you went through happens again."

Tamaki nods as Midoriya perks up at the nurse and raises his hand, "Um, ma'am, is something going on with Amajiki..?"

"Yes, but I can assure you we are doing everything possible to make sure his mentality isn't fading or wavering. I will be visiting every other hour to check-in. Also please be mindful that visitation hours are ending in a few hours, so soon you all will have to depart."

Tamaki cut her off with worry and concern, "wait, but I-I can't be left alone..! I-I..."

Hado giggled softly, putting a handon Tamakis shoulder,  "Listen, nurse, our kitten needs us beside him, or else he won't get his sleep in properly."

"Yeah! Let us stay, Please? You won't have to have us in another bed or a different room. We will be in here with everything back to normal." Mirio said with a puppy dog look and a plea. making the nurse falter a bit and sigh. 

"We can help protect him!" Kirishima added with a grin.

The nurse hesitated before nodding, "Alright, you 4 can stay for the night. I'm going to let my boss know. Don't overwhelm Mr.Amajiki. He needs his rest."

The four nod as they watch Tamaki for the night.

(Wooo! That was a while. Thank you for your patience, I've been stuck with class work for college, so updates are slower than usual.)
