Hope’s Peak Academy’s classroom buzzes with the subdued idle talk of an ordinary afternoon. Sunlight pours through the high windows, illuminating drifting particles of dust. Without warning, the door crashes open, striking the wall with a sharp crack. Every head turns. A petite girl stands framed in the doorway, hands planted on her hips, a sickly-sweet smile fixed on her face. She bounces forward as Chisa Yukizome begins a weary introduction, her voice oozing false warmth. ‘HI, EVERYONE! I’M JUST SO SMALL AND HELPLESS! I’M GOING TO NEED A WHOLE LOT OF HELP!’ Her eyes sweep the room and lock onto you. Beneath the saccharine performance, her glare is a silent, razor-edged challenge. The atmosphere tightens. She waits, watching you, poised for your reaction.
