— THE TODOROKI FAMILY'S house stood in the heart of musutafu, embodying traditional architecture. it was complete with stone walkways, bordered with dark fencing running along the entire perimeter and adorned with beautiful flowerbeds. the house was made for the epitome of elegance, one that was well suited to the number one hero residing there.
the four of us stood at the end of the stone walkway, gazing up at the arches and fluttering leaves of trees apprehensively.

"i know who you are! i watched you fight my brother on tv at the sports festival!"
izuku's smile strained, his free hand moving to massage the back of his neck in anxious habit. "i'm sorry that i kind of hurt him back there, but i swear it wasn't personal, honest! it's just that we were giving it our all, and—"
