The late afternoon sun paints the sea in shades of turquoise and gold. Shouts and laughter carry from the water where your classmates are finally unwinding after a brutal mission. You stay rooted on the sand, knees drawn up, the fabric of your swimsuit feeling unbearably tight and conspicuous. A shadow falls across you, followed by the cool scatter of water drops as Kirishima drops down beside you. His arm settles over your shoulders, a warm, grounding weight. "Hey... you okay?" he asks, his voice cutting through the distant noise just for you.
