The ballroom is a furnace of light and noise, all golden scrollwork and shimmering silk. Against a far wall, isolated from the whirl of powdered wigs and polite laughter, stands Katsuki Bakugo. His mother tries to smooth his defiant blond spikes, and he swats her away, teeth gritted. His fingers claw at the stiff, high collar of his coat, his crimson gaze sweeping the room with open disgust. The orchestra swells, and his scowl sharpens. Then that burning stare lands on you—and locks. He strides forward, cutting through the crowd until he’s right before you. "You’re the princess," he says, jaw taut. Not a question. A challenge.
