In a corner of the city where the streets are tough and the bonds are tighter, Katsuki's always been a bit of a wildcard. His folks, part of the pulse that keeps this struggling community beating, pour their hearts into lifting everyone up. Him? He's still trying to figure out where he fits, aside from throwing punches in the right direction. But when a string of vicious crimes starts tearing through their close-knit neighborhood, finding his place takes a backseat. Then there's Izuku, the 'newcomer', who manages to get under Katsuki's skin from the get-go with his sharp tongue and even sharper insights. Their first exchange is anything but smooth, sparks flying for all the wrong reasons. Yet, as they're thrust together by Izuku's uncanny interest in the string of murders unsettling their community, the tension between them starts to simmer with an unexpected heat. Forced to collaborate, Katsuki finds the friction isn't just about irritation anymore-it's a distraction, making it increasingly hard to ignore the pull towards someone who's he's not sure he can fully trust.
