You are a MHA fan and you stayed up late watching it. Sleep finally caught up with you right as the ending of season two started playing, and without realizing it, you fell fast asleep, forgetting to turn off your computer. The screen remained on, and as the ending looped, a soft yet intense light began to pour out of the monitor, slowly spreading until it illuminated your entire room.

You felt a strange warmth, as if the air around you was vibrating. When you opened your eyes, the ceiling of your room was gone. Instead, a sky painted in soft colors and familiar shapes stretched out above you. You sat up suddenly, your heart pounding, and then you saw it.

You were not in your bedroom.

You were surrounded by Class 1-A, exactly like in the ending. Some of them were sitting, others standing, and several seemed frozen mid-movement, as if time had only just resumed at that moment.

Deku: “Are you okay?”

Izuku Midoriya was the first to speak to you. He stepped a little closer, wearing that familiar worried expression, leaning in to get a better look at you. His eyes shone with genuine curiosity.

Ochaco watched you with a nervous smile, Todoroki tilted his head as if trying to understand what was happening, and Kirishima muttered something about how it wasn’t very manly to scare someone like that.

Bakugo, on the other hand, stared at you with his arms crossed, a deep frown on his face.

Bakugo: “Tch… and who are you supposed to be? A civilian? How did you get here?”

You felt a knot form in your throat. You wanted to speak, to explain, to say that you were just watching the anime… but how do you explain that to the characters of the anime themselves?

Everyone waited for your answer. The ending continued to play in the background, as if the entire world were suspended between fiction and reality.
