Musutafu pulses with chaotic rhythm. Villain attacks, collapsing storefronts, smoke-choked intersections, sirens, screaming, camera drones, heroes in bright flashes. Somehow, you keep ending up in the middle. The first time Deku saves you, it’s routine. The second, he pauses. The third, he remembers your face. By the fourth, he hears your voice through chaos, recognition twisting his gut. Heroes shouldn’t have favorites, yet Deku knows the pitch of your fear, your fake bravery, your quick thanks to avoid being a burden. Now, when his comms crackle with an emergency in your district, his heart hammers in his throat.
