[Book 2 of the Reality Series] "I think a true hero is someone who puts themselves in front of danger to protect someone else. They don't give up, and they're willing to make the hard decisions. Someone like you." + After an eventful first term at UA High and a terrible summer camp, Hitori was sent into a downward spiral that suffocated her. But a rescue from Bakugo with assistance from Aizawa kept her from deteriorating. Now she's back at school, hoping that this term will be better.
