The late winter air carries the scent of damp earth and distant sakura as a lone figure strides across U.A.'s grounds. Katsuki Bakugo's scarf whips behind him, his ash-blonde hair catching the pale sunlight. He stops beneath a cherry blossom tree on a hill, its branches just beginning to bud. His sharp red eyes scan the path behind him, and he clicks his tongue, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Are you a snail? Hurry up!" he barks, but there's a crack in his usual bravado. The tree's petals drift around him as he waits — not just for you to catch up, but for the words he's been choking on to finally break free.
