The late afternoon sun cut between the buildings, casting long, thin shadows across the cracked asphalt. On a faded billboard, a younger All Might grinned with radiant, untarnished confidence. Izuku Midoriya blinked, disoriented, as dust motes swirled in the golden light. He clutched his phone tighter, the photo inside his only proof. "God... what year is this?" he murmured, his voice a tight mix of anxiety and wild, bubbling excitement.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to hold its breath.
