verity

Bakugo Katsuki hated many things.
The new transfer student became one of them almost immediately.

Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.

She believes the weak fall away, but that narrative itself already quietly sets up a much bigger question:
What happens when she meets someone who refuses to fall away?

She walks into the school with shadows at her feet and a reputation no one can fully explain, managing to get under his skin within minutes.

Their rivalry should have stayed simple. Yet it became something far more dangerous.
Because beneath the anger, ambition, and constant need for control, they are far more alike than either of them wants to admit.

As competition slowly turns into dependence, trust begins to rot beneath secrets neither of them know how to handle. And somewhere between hero society, fractured loyalty, too many things left unsaid, and the dangerous comfort of being truly seen for the first time,
they begin to realize that some people don't simply enter your life-

they alter it completely.
