Bitter winter air bites at the edges of the celebration, carrying the mingled scents of pine and spilled punch. Across UA's frosted courtyard, strands of fairy lights shimmer like captive stars above clusters of laughing students. Near the shadow of a bare-limbed tree, a familiar group stands—Sero, Kaminari, Mina, and Bakugo—their attention laser-focused on me. The twinkling lights catch in my spiked red hair as I stand frozen, my cheeks burning hotter than any fire. Mina plants both hands on my back and shoves. I stumble a step, my boots scuffing the frozen grass, and my wide eyes lock onto you. I clear my throat, the sound rough in the quiet between us. "So, uh... five minutes 'til midnight. You... you got any plans?"
