The start of it all

To recall the whole situation was... very bizarre, let's say. So, I'll simply start from the beginning.
My name is Sonosuke Izayoi, and I am the Ultimate Blacksmith. Well, at least I was, until that bomb went off. The bomb that kicked me, Ruruka (my girlfriend) and Seiko out of Hope's Peak Academy. I haven't seen Kimura since that day and honestly? I'm happy to keep it that way.
Y'see, bombing a highschool isnt what you normally do to keep your grades up. Apparently Kimura thought differently. And that got me here.
Well, "here" isn't exactly descriptive enough.
Here as in my shop/apartment that I've lived in for about 4 years now. It might've been more, but I'm not good at remembering dates. That's normally Ruruka's thing, and she wasn't here right now.
Ruruka was off on a road trip with her Hope's Peak friends, taking a drive through the countryside and probably getting drunk. For being so sweet, she has quite the taste for bitterness.
Of course, I never really knew who her friends were. I didn't need to, it's not like they were my friends anyway.
I have my own things to do here, at home. Like, make weapons, and watch TV. Possibly go on a walk to the store, or the park. That's what I'm doing right now, actually. I'm on a run through the park, taking in the chirps of the birds as they settle in for the night. The setting sun looked beautiful as it drenched the sky in a very soft orange color.
I watched as a family of people played soccer, or football, I couldn't remember which one it was. They looked so happy, smiling and laughing together. Running and jumping over each other to get a ball somewhere. Seemed fairly silly to me, but I wasn't about to judge them.
What I failed to notice while I was looking at the sunset, was a body laying in the middle of the path I was jogging on. It seemed to be.... convulsing.
"What the fuck is this-" I thought to myself, slowing my pace to get a good look at them.
Yep, that's definitely a person. This wasn't the first time I've seen someone have a seizure, but it still was quite shocking.
As I was dialing 9-1-1, I heard a sickening splatter come from the ground. They... threw up on themselves. They... they were choking!
"Fuck this, I can call them later," I said, as I scoop the figure into my arms and sling them over my shoulder. They reeked of alcohol, and their jacket was slick with grime. Was this person homeless? How old were they?
They couldn't have been more then their teens, they barely weighed anything.
I quickened my pace as I started to feel their skin heat up through their clothes.
"This is bad. I'm almost home, just a little further and I can call someone."
As I round the corner, I hear some faint words leave their lips. I had to strain to hear it, in fact.
"Th..ank you, Sonosuke..."
What the hell?? Did this person just say my name? How the hell do they know who I am?
As I enter my driveway, I hear more words come from the person I was carrying.
"I never th...ought you'd h-help me like this... especially after Hope's Peak.."
Wait... this cant be...
No....
I set them down onto the couch, and finally got a good look at them in the lighting.
It was her...
Kimura
Seiko Kimura was in my livingroom.
