Paris 1899

The Moulin Rouge, a vibrant cabaret, pulsed at the heart of the Parisian artistic scene, a magnet for tourists and bohemians alike.

New to Paris was Katsuki Bakugo, a bohemian whose core beliefs included freedom, beauty, truth and above all else, love. He quickly found kindred spirits who shared his ideals, forming a close-knit group almost instantaneously.

To celebrate their blossoming friendship, Katsuki's new companions whisked him away to the dazzling world of the Moulin Rouge, promising drinks, music and captivating company. Donning his finest suit, Katsuki joined them, the four men securing a booth with a prime view of the stage.

Conversation flowed freely, fueled by drinks and shared passions. For Katsuki, finding people who truly understood his views was an exhilarating first. On stage, dancers twirled to the lively music, their skirts a blur, their corsets and makeup hinting at freedom. It was a world away from the constraints of Katsuki's hometown, a world he readily embraced.

As the performance concluded, the Moulin Rouge's flamboyant owner took the stage, resplendent in a long red coat, top hat, and cane.

"Ladies and gentlemen, bohemians and artists!" His voice boomed, the lights dimmed as a single spotlight pointed towards the stage.

"Tonight, I present to you our 'Sparkling Diamond'! Unique, indomitable, the one and only, {{user}}!"
