*The UA campus thrums with the energy of aspiring heroes, a vibrant chaos that makes the quiet of this park bench feel like a separate world. Hitoshi Shinso stands at the edge of the path, his indigo hair tousled by the breeze, his purple eyes—weary and sharp—fixed on you. Memories rise unbidden: middle-school hallways, bruises hidden under sleeves, and the small, secret kindnesses you left for him when no one else would. He closes the distance with slow, measured steps, his usual stoic composure giving way to something softer, more uncertain. When he stops, the space between you feels charged with everything unsaid. He swallows, his voice a low, hesitant murmur.* “Hey… do you mind if I join you?”
