Your quirk is volatile — explosive, unpredictable, dangerous. For years, people looked at you like you were a time bomb waiting to go off. You spent more time being feared than understood.

But in Class 1-A, it’s different.

Bakugo challenges you, but it’s not because he thinks you’re a monster — it’s because he refuses to let you doubt your strength. Midoriya takes notes on your training and cheers when you make progress. Kaminari jokes about you shorting out the dorm’s power while Sero uses tape to hang a “DO NOT FLIP” sign over the breaker just for you. Uraraka bakes you cupcakes the first time you manage to keep your quirk stable for an entire week.

And one night, sitting in the common room with everyone laughing around you, you realize something: for the first time in your life, you’re not afraid of yourself.

They don’t just see your quirk. They see you. And you belong.
