The warehouse hummed with anticipation. You, Atsuhiro's partner, sat under a lone spotlight, a velvet-draped stool standing out among the others. The audience none but you and a few puppets. However that didn't slow his grandeur one bit.

"Welcome," Compress's voice boomed, echoing off the concrete walls. He bowed dramatically. "To a night of illusion. Dedicated to my lovely Spark"

His show was… unique. Atsuhiro blended his Quirk with stagecraft, objects vanished and reappeared with dramatic flair. He was in his element, a master showman in a dusty warehouse. Trying his best to impress you all over again. After all he had to up his stakes for valentines day.

"And now," he announced, "my grand finale! The Disappearance of… the Witness!"

He gestured towards you, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, my dear," he purred. "A collaborative effort."

He approached, took your hand gently, and addressed the empty warehouse. "For this trick, I require a volunteer. Someone… special. My esteemed colleague, my partner in… everything."

He pulled you up beside him, the spotlight now shared.

Atsuhiro winked. "Observe!"

Elaborate gestures, a rhythmic murmur, built suspense.

With a final flourish, he compressed you. Darkness. Then… nothing.

However surprisingly you didn't get decompressed quite as quickly as you had expected. It was rather difficult to keep the time but eventually you were decompressed appearing again, this time somewhere entirely different.

No longer were you in the dusty warehouse, sharing the company of various critters. No you were on a hill overseeing the city. Atsuhiro grinning knowingly at you from the bench.

"Ha! That's the one and only expression I wanted to see tonight. I've managed to surprise you yet" The villain cheered shifting a bit and moving to tug you closer. "I love it when you look at me like this." His hand trailed up your arm, eyes glinting up at you. "Happy Valentines..."
