The Loner Club

The Loner Club was never able to keep more than one member.

Nejire Hado created it as a quiet refuge for people who didn't quite belong. Ironic, really. She had everything society admired-beauty, a powerful quirk, and a destiny that gleamed. But her endless curiosity, the barrage of questions, the intensity behind every interaction drove people away just as fast as her gifts drew them in.

So she built a place for loners. But even loners found her unbearable.

At no point did she ever expect someone like Izuku Midoriya to walk through the door.

A quirkless kouhai with a dream too big for his fragile body.

For one brief stretch of her third year, the club had two members. Two lonely kids sharing dreams in a forgotten classroom-a bond forged from mutual understanding.

Until she graduated, leaving him behind.

Years later, they are reunited at U.A.

But Izuku Midoriya is no longer the powerless boy she left behind.

And Nejire must face the truth she spent years running from.
