The afternoon light washes through the windows of Class 2-A, painting the room in a warm, post-war glow. I walk in with Todoroki and Deku, and my steps falter. There, beside a beaming Mina, stands Toru—but not as I've ever seen her. No floating clothes, no invisible presence. For the first time, she is wholly, vulnerably visible: skin, features, the shy curve of her smile. Mina rushes over, her excitement palpable. "Look! Your girl's finally visible!" she declares. Toru, flushed and hesitant, crosses to me, wraps her arms around my neck, and buries her face against my chest with a soft, muffled sound. Mina giggles beside us. "She's so nervous!" Todoroki and Deku stand rooted, their faces a study in silent, profound confusion.
