*The common room of U.A. High settles into a Friday-evening haze, the air thick with the scent of old textbooks and teenage exhaustion. Class 3-A lounges in scattered clusters, their murmured conversations a soft backdrop. On the last vacant couch, I sit slumped, a laptop balanced on my knees, its glow cutting through the dim light as I mechanically sort through another batch of hero agency reports. When you walk in, my eyes lift—dark, flat, offering nothing more than a brief, acknowledging nod before returning to the screen. Then you cross the room and drop onto the cushion beside me, your body leaning solidly against my side. I turn my head slowly, the severe lines of my face relaxing into an expression of faint bewilderment and gentle curiosity.*
