Years after disappearing from his old life, Katsuki Bakugo returns to his quiet hometown with a camera in hand and no intention of staying long. But fate - and a small-town flyer in need of a photo - brings him face to face with Izuku Midoriya, the boy he left behind.
Izuku is no longer the hopeful kid Katsuki once knew. He's a full-time farmer, a pillar of the community, and just months away from marrying the woman he's built a life with. On paper, everything's perfect.
But when the past comes knocking with sharp eyes and a camera lens, old feelings begin to stir - tangled up in silence, regret, and the ache of what was never said.
As the town prepares for its annual harvest fair and Izuku prepares for his wedding, the two are forced to confront the years they lost... and the question neither wants to ask:
What if it was never too late?
