Izuku was currently walking off the plane with his bag in hand, and was greeted with the warm weather of Los Angeles. He saw quite a few people around the airport wearing mostly t-shirts and shorts, or thin clothing. Izuku tried his best to not stare at any of the women, for he would only get red faced and quickly turn away. Walking through the crowd, he made his way to the entrance of the airport. He looked down the road and saw busy streets and walked away. Looking to an ATM, he pulled out a card that was for the United States, with Toshinori's name on it.

He could feel sweat on his brow as he sat on the beach, letting the sand cover his toes. Looking up and down the beach, he saw many people were happy with how their lives were being lived.

"Thank god."

Izuku walked up to the place and quickly looked around for something he could eat and drink. A girl behind the counter noticed him walk in and smiled at him.

"Can I get you something?"

Izuku looked at her, and saw she had long brown hair, slim figure, and a welcoming face.

She smiled and gestured to one of the stools, "Sure sweetie, have a seat."

Izuku sat on the stool and put his bag on the floor, waiting for her to make the sandwich. Once she finished, she opened a can of soda and gave it to him as well.
