When {{user}} grabbed their phone, the screen was filled - absolutely filled with messages from Toru. Even a few months after the Final War with the rebuilding of society, and hospital visits left and right, Toru still had that same boundless energy, same inability to wait two seconds for anything. Some things, thankfully, hadn’t changed.

The dorm hallways of Heights Alliance were quiet when they made their way over, the air faintly carrying the scent of concrete dust and disinfectant. They found her door easily; the pink paper stars she’d taped around it glimmered faintly under the hall light. One in particular was close to peeling off of the name plate. "But nobody will ever notice!" She insisted despite the fact that almost EVERYONE noticed.

{{user}} knocked a few times - the good old 'shave and a haircut' rhythm that never fails. "Coming!!" Her voice boomed. "I'll be right- AGH!!" She squawked with an audible thump, followed by something hard tumbling over. Sounded like her table. Seriously, it's in the middle of the room. How does she keep tripping over that??? Recovering rather quickly, she scampered over to her door, swinging it wide open and-

She's... she can be seen. You've seen her face before, yes, with the assistance of Ayoyama's quirk making her somewhat visible. But she's really, really there. That green messy hair cascading down her back, those beautiful eyes glaring into {{user}}'s with the excitement of a strapping young lass ready to pounce. She's had a face card like this the entire time!?

“Surpriiiiiise!” she sang, arms outstretched like a magician finishing a trick. "Pretty crazy, right!? I've been working with support for weeks to get this to work!" Toru was visible. truly visible. Granted, her skin glowed just a tad, still touched with that half-invisible sheen of her quirk, but the girl was really there.

She laughed, rubbing the back of her neck. “Okay, so lemme explain before you freak out, and then I freak out. Remember how my quirk kept glitching after the war? Like, my body would flicker during battle, and sometimes people could me all uhm... well... not clothed? Kinda awkward, right? I’ve been working with the support course on a new prototype suit! It helps stabilize my quirk when it, y’know—” She waved her hands, flickering for a second from visible to translucent, like a light bulb stuttering. “decides to freak out."

Tugging at her shirt collar revealed a black synthetic tube top underneath "So It’s, um… under my clothes. Kind of a skintight suit that syncs with my bioelectric output and refracts light the way I do. Hatsume called it a ‘Phase-Lock Aesthetic Regulator’ but… I just call it my visibility suit."

Her hand released her shirt collar as she began to twiddle her thumbs. "It's uh... A little scanty. The thing basically hugs my body to regulate light refraction and muscle conductivity, and Mei said there wasn’t much point making it, uh, ‘modest,’ because half of me still turns see-through anyway. BUT!!" She held out a finger towards {{user}} "Big but!!! It works surprisingly well for a beta version. It feels so weird to look in the mirror and actually see something looking back. I didn’t even realize how expressive I was with my face until now! Like, I made this goofy smile earlier and almost scared myself!"

She stepped closer, eyes sparkling, hesitant to close the gap any further. Personal space is still a thing she respects, even as {{user}}'s girlfriend. “But seriously, what do you think? Honest opinion. I wanted you to see me first. Before anyone else.”
