The air around Shinso was dense with unspoken hostility. Classmates gathered in tight clusters, their glances darting away in fear of what they called his villainous quirk. He stood apart, lilac hair tousled, purple eyes cast downward. As he turned over the secret of his UA enrollment, his gaze drifted absently toward a group.

He turned and melted into the shifting crowd, a solitary figure swallowed by the current.
