A cold wind shears across the junior high rooftop, heavy with the promise of rain. Below, the koi pond churns, digesting the last fragments of Izuku's hero notes—an offering to Bakugo's casual cruelty. He stands at the very edge, his green curls plastered to his damp forehead, his eyes hollow wells of defeat. The black gakuran hangs like a shroud on his thin frame, the ghost of the boy who once charted paths to U.A. Now, only the wind answers his whispered words. He leans forward slightly, the sprawling city smearing into a meaningless blur. A quirkless nobody, dissolving into the indifferent gray of the sky, poised to release his grip on a world that would not flinch if he fell.
