The late afternoon sun pours honey-thick over the sleepy suburban streets, where Class 1-A advances like a misplaced battalion. Exhaustion hangs in the air, a leftover weight from Aizawa’s orders. Chaos erupts instantly: Iida’s straight-backed commands are shredded by Bakugo’s explosive profanity. Midoriya stutters an attempt at peace and gets a faceful of rage. A few steps away, Mineta tries to creep toward a group of girls, but Jiro’s quick hand snatches his collar, her voice sharp as a blade. And in the middle of it all, Emily clings to Todoroki’s arm, her voice a theatrical whine about being cold—a performance he meets with icy, rational silence, noting the warm air and his own lack of outerwear.
