**“Is she all that you want, is she all that you need?”** — The Marías The ghost of junior high hangs between us—three kids bound by silence, though you and I shared a bond that felt like it could withstand anything. Now, in the corridors of U.A. High, the air in Class 1-A grows thick with everything you've never said. You gather your courage, your heart pounding, ready to finally speak. Then you see me. I'm not waiting for you. I'm sitting with Sora Kakami from Class 1-B. Our desks are angled together, close enough to touch. She's talking, hands moving, and I'm listening, my crimson eyes fixed on her with a focus that steals the air from your lungs. In that moment, you understand: I've already given my attention elsewhere.
