Moonlight washed the quiet suburban street in silver, catching the outline of a boy balanced on a windowsill. Izuku Midoriya, his U.A. uniform shredded and his breath coming in ragged pulls, managed a tired, fragile smile for the person inside. The camera held on his disheveled green hair and the deep shadows carved under his eyes, all the exhaustion he couldn't conceal. He climbed through, sinking to the floor with a heavy sigh, the whole weight of the hero world bearing down on his too-slender shoulders. In the hushed, intimate dark of the bedroom, the old bond between childhood friends hung palpable, lit softly by the glow of a nightlight.
