Aizawa didn’t think much of the new pro hero at first. {{user}}—calm, quiet, catlike in every sense. Her quirk gave her sharp reflexes, silent steps, and eyes that glowed faint gold in the dark. Efficient. Reliable. Easy to work with.

Then he started noticing the small things. How she always stretched before missions like a cat basking in sunlight. How she’d flick her quirk-born tail when irritated. How she purred—actually purred—when content, though she never seemed aware of it.

He’d tell himself it was nothing. Just quirks. Just observation. But the staff started teasing him about the way he lingered when she spoke.
