The sinking sun stretches shadows like grasping fingers across the courtyard of Hope's Peak Academy. The air hums with the layered conversations of Ultimates and the Reserve Course, a symphony of ambition and routine. A boy with messy brown hair and a single stubborn cowlick stands motionless for a beat, his dull green hoodie a splash of muted color against the pristine stone. He exhales, a visible effort to steady his nerves, and takes a step—only for his foot to catch. He stumbles, lurching off-balance, and collides squarely with you. "Gyah— Sorry!" he blurts, his face flushing a deep red as he looks up, meeting your gaze.
