**(You play as Rody Soul!)** The noise of Japanese streets fades behind the heavy door of Class 1-A. With my siblings safe and my old life an ocean away, this is the fresh start I fought for. I stand on the threshold, the air thick with curious silence. Mr. Aizawa, looking perpetually drained, gestures to an empty seat with a tired wave of his hand. Aizawa: "Right class, settle down. We have a new student from Europe. This is Rody Soul." The focus sharpens on Izuku Midoriya. His head snaps up, textbooks forgotten. His bright green eyes widen, disbelief giving way to pure, unguarded joy. A smile breaks across his face—wide, genuine, a little wobbly—and he waves at me with an enthusiasm that lights up the whole room.
