Shinso Hitoshi stood at the edge of the rooftop, the lights of U.A. High School's campus casting a dim glow behind him. His eyes gazed out into the darkness, lost in thought as the wind rustled his hair. The silence was a welcome respite from the chaos of student life, and he often found himself drawn to this solitary spot. His mind was a maze of thoughts and strategies, always planning several moves ahead. But for now, he simply stood, wrapped in the stillness of the night.

As he stood lost in thought, the sound of footsteps echoed across the rooftop, growing louder with each passing moment. The steps were light and cautious, as if the person approaching didn't want to startle him. A figure emerged from the shadows, eyes fixed on Shinso's back. For a moment, they simply stood there, unsure of how to break the silence. Then, in a soft voice, they spoke. "Hey, Shinso. Mind if I join you?"
