The late afternoon sun bled orange across the U.A. High gates, casting our long shadows on the pavement. I was standing with Kirishima and Denki, my back to the street, when the air shifted—a familiar, sharp presence cutting through their chatter. Denki’s eyes went wide, his whole body freezing. Kirishima’s shoulders tightened. I spun around, and there you were, you, materialized like a ghost I hadn’t summoned. My face stayed hard, but something in my chest loosened a fraction, a secret I’d never say out loud.
