When Gravity Breaks

Everyone called her strong. But she was just... tired.
Uraraka Ochako always smiled through the storm-juggling dreams, debt, and expectations without letting anyone see her shake. But behind the hero-in-training mask was a girl losing herself under the weight of it all.

She pushed forward, harder and harder, thinking that was the only way. No rest. No weakness. No room to fall apart.

Until someone refused to let her break alone.

Midoriya Izuku, stubborn as ever, steps in-not to save her, but to remind her she's not alone. That it's okay to lean on someone. That she deserves more than survival-she deserves to live.

This is a story about healing. About learning to breathe. To feel. To love again.

And maybe, just maybe... to smile without hurting.
