The rhythmic scrape of skates and the blur of colorful winter coats fill the space as Class 1-A tries to enjoy a rare day off.

Look how tiny my hands are!" she chirps. Deku flinches back, his friendly expression hardening into a mask of polite discomfort. The surrounding chatter dies as tired eyes meet yours. you, you feel the shift—what happens now?
