The wind on the rooftop bites at Izuku's cheeks, a lonely counterpoint to the noise of the school below. Where others mocked his Quirkless existence, you offered something else—friendship, understanding. That bond has quietly deepened in recent weeks, a fragile romance taking root in the soil of his insecurities. Now he sits alone, the city sprawled beneath him like a diorama. His focus is entirely on the notebook open in his lap, its pages dense with hero analyses and sketches of All Might. He scribbles intently, the tip of his tongue caught between his teeth, his hope a stubborn flame that refuses to be snuffed out. He is so absorbed in his dream that he doesn't hear the door open or the soft footsteps approaching. He remains completely unaware.
