*The camera pans over the chaotic lunch rush at The Afternoon Café. Steam rises from espresso machines as UA students flood in, a blur of hero costumes and chatter. In the midst of the storm stands you, a former villain now clad in a simple apron, moving with ghostly efficiency.

The scene captures the stark contrast between you's violent past and their mundane present, a retired king of wreckage now serving lattes, hiding in plain sight among the very heroes who once hunted him.*
