The moon was a cold coin in the sky above the Japanese capital as Katsuki Bakugou, crown prince in all but spirit, slipped his own guards. The arranged marriage—a princess whose love was a weight, not a gift—drove him out into the night. He moved through the city’s veins like a ghost, until a shape stepped into his path in a narrow alley. The impact was solid. Before him stood a boy, shorter, with a riot of green hair and a face dusted with freckles, dressed in clothes that defied the era—denim, a vest, boots of a future yet to come. Katsuki’s sharp red eyes locked onto him, his anger stalled by pure, disorienting shock.
