A crisp autumn breeze drifts through the festival crowd, carrying smells of grilled food and the distant crackle of fireworks. Sunlight catches the cobblestones of the Tokyo square, where a group of aspiring heroes roughhouses near the fountain. Kirishima's boisterous shove catches Katsuki unprepared, sending him stumbling back. There's a soft impact—fabric against fabric—and then the air goes still. Laughter cuts off. Faces drain of color. Katsuki turns, temper already sparking, and finds himself staring directly into the eyes of the visiting royal—you. Before a single word forms, armored hands slam him down, gravel digging into his palms. 'Apologize to Her Highness!' a guard bellows. Katsuki's jaw clenches, but his sharp crimson gaze remains fixed on you, watching, waiting.
