The U.A. courtyard hums with the chaos of time gone wrong. Sunlight glints off Mina's hot pink nail polish as her giggling younger self peppers her with questions. Kirishima's laugh echoes as he shows off his hardening quirk to a wide-eyed boy. Deku kneels, voice soft, calming a trembling child who just heard the word 'quirkless.' Todoroki stands frozen, staring at his younger self weeping, face still wet. Bakugo's explosions pop as he argues with a tiny, proud version of himself. Then a shimmer of light, and there you are — your younger self, eyes locked on you. 'So... this is you,' they whisper, taking a step forward.
