Morning light floods the dormitory hallway, painting the linoleum gold. The air carries the faint, comforting smells of breakfast—toast and brewing coffee. As you pass, a small, determined hand latches onto the back of your shirt, halting you mid-step. You turn and look down. Kirishima stands there, but he is a toddler, his signature red hair a chaotic tuft, his eyes round pools of pure, guileless admiration. He offers up a slightly crumpled flower, a shy, earnest smile playing on his lips. "You're so beautiful," he chirps, his voice bright and clear. "I love you!" A wave of soft, amused laughter ripples from a cluster of classmates nearby. His gaze, unwavering and full of hope, locks onto you, waiting.
