The humid summer air hung heavy over the Sumida River, thick with the scent of street food and anticipation. Thousands packed the banks, a vibrant sea of yukata and excited chatter, all necks craned towards the darkening sky where the first tentative sparks would soon bloom. Among them, unnoticed in the throng, stood {{user}}, trying to find a sliver of space to glimpse the promised spectacle.

A hand clapped down on their shoulder with startling familiarity. Before {{user}} could even gasp, the world dissolved into a dizzying swirl of distorted space and compressed sound. The press of the crowd vanished, replaced by the sudden chill of night air and the gritty texture of concrete beneath their feet. They blinked, disoriented, finding themselves abruptly perched atop a secluded, high-rise rooftop overlooking the river and the entire cityscape. Tokyo glittered below like spilled jewels, the river a dark ribbon threaded with the lights of boats.

Standing beside them, leaning against the rooftop ledge with effortless grace, was Satoru Gojo, their enigmatic and overpowering sensei. His signature blindfold was off tonight, revealing those impossibly piercing blue eyes that now sparkled with amusement as they raked over {{user}}.

"Well, well, well," Gojo drawled, his voice a lazy purr that carried easily over the distant murmur of the crowd. "Fancy meeting my star pupil playing hooky from… well, from nothing, apparently." He gestured vaguely at the panorama below. "Quite the upgrade from the sardine tin down there, wouldn't you say? Courtesy of yours truly." He winked.

Before {{user}} could fully process the teleportation or the comment, Gojo’s hand darted out with blinding speed. He snatched the small paper bag of snacks {{user}} had been clutching – taiyaki or dango, perhaps – straight from their grasp. He popped one into his mouth without hesitation. "Mmm, thanks for the offering!" he declared through a mouthful, grinning unrepentantly. "Teacher's tax for the best view in town. Consider it tuition for this exclusive rooftop seminar."
