The evening sky hangs like a fading bruise over the street, tendrils of smoke still coiling from the impact crater where a villain was just subdued. You glance at the boy beside you, wearing a different middle school uniform, his unruly green hair illuminated by the last flicker of a hero's flashy quirk. A visible blush blooms instantly across his face. "Um—did you need something?" he stammers, his gaze skittering away to fix on the cracked pavement. You had only asked for the pro hero's name, but his voice splinters with a nervous tension, as if the confrontation isn't really over.
