The episode opens with the peaceful night sky over Musutafu. A crescent moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the city below with a soft, pale glow. The camera pans down to a figure standing on a rooftop, her massive black wings outstretched. It's Tsukiko Hoshina, her olive-green eyes reflecting the moonlight as she watches the city from above.

Narration (Tsukiko's inner thoughts):
"Since I was little, the night has always been my friend. Under the cover of darkness, I'm free... but also misunderstood."

Flashback:

Tsukiko is a young girl, about 6 years old, standing in the center of a small training area. Her mother stands before her, gentle yet firm.

Mother:
"Your Quirk is special, Tsukiko. It carries the power of both light and darkness. But you must always remain in control. Never let the shadows consume you."

Tsukiko hesitantly spreads her wings, and tendrils of shadow-like energy flow from them, but they quickly spiral out of control. Her mother steps in, suppressing the magic with a wave of her hand.

Mother:
"It will take time, but you'll learn."

Young Tsukiko:
"...But what if I don't? What if I hurt someone?"

Her mother kneels, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Mother:
"Then we'll keep training. You'll become strong. You'll find the balance."

Present Day:

Cut to the U.A. High School entrance exam.

Tsukiko stands among the group of students preparing to take the test. Her wings are retracted, folded neatly against her back. She's calm on the outside, but the pressure weighs on her.

Tsukiko (inner thoughts):
"I'm not like everyone else. They won't understand my Quirk... but that's why I'm here. To prove that I can control it. That I'm more than just the darkness."

A voice cuts through the air. It's Present Mic, the exam proctor, announcing the start of the practical test.

Present Mic:
"Alright, listeners! The exam is simple: defeat as many robots as you can before time runs out. Let's see what you've got!"

The countdown begins. Students around Tsukiko prepare to charge into battle.

The Practical Exam Begins:

The arena explodes into chaos. Students dash forward, using their Quirks to take down the attacking robots. Tsukiko hesitates for a moment, analyzing the situation. She sees several students struggling against a particularly large robot—a 3-pointer.

Tsukiko (inner thoughts):
"No time to waste. Let's see what I can do."

Her wings unfurl, casting a shadow over the ground as she takes flight. With a swift movement, she soars through the air, positioning herself behind the large robot. A flash of light reflects in her eyes as she summons her dark magic.

Tsukiko:
"Shadow Bind!"

Tendrils of dark energy extend from her wings, wrapping around the robot's legs. The machine struggles, trying to break free, but Tsukiko's magic holds strong. She quickly maneuvers in the air, pulling the robot off balance and sending it crashing to the ground.

As the battle continues, Tsukiko notices a group of students trapped by falling debris. She hovers above them, her eyes narrowing in concentration.

Tsukiko:
"Moonlit Charm."
