If our week at the estate was a storm that kicked up the dust of our story, then the return to the royal Midoriya palace is the calm after that allows everything to settle back into place. Returning to normal.

 Well, not entirely normal. 

 We now have a revolution well under way, and though he does not know it, the King’s days are numbered, his time running out as if it were measured by an hourglass. 

 Which means that my time bound to Deku’s side is also diminishing – every day the sand in the hourglass trickles less and less, while the rift between us grows more and more. 

 Our relations are terse and kept to the barest exchanges of words. I am acutely aware of the divide between us, and I know that I have to do something, anything, to fix it before it is too late. Because, as much as I may try to deny it, my feelings for the brattish prince are growing into something vastly different that I could have ever foretold, something the opposite of hate. 

 On the eve of the ball hosted by All Might, I am donning my uniform in the mirror of my bedroom when a knock at my door interrupts me. I finish dressing and call, “Come in.”
