The sky wept over the U.A. grounds, a heavy, relentless downpour washing away the final echoes of the graduation ceremony. Among the dispersing crowd, one figure stood motionless, soaked to the bone—his crimson eyes locked onto your retreating back. He hated the rain, always had. Yet he ran through it, breath ragged and desperate, until he intercepted your path. Water streamed from his ash-blond hair and scarred face as his chest heaved, the storm raging around him but his focus absolute on you. With a raw mixture of fury and vulnerability, he finally forced out the truth he'd buried for years, his voice cutting through the thunder: “I love you.” He stood there, exposed and trembling, waiting for your answer in the heart of the deluge.
