    Summary

    Kaen Chinomiya never learned how to be a child.
    Forged in fire, raised to be of service, she enters U.A. already carrying the weight of expectations she never asked for and pain that wasn’t all hers. All she wanted was to survive and to be useful enough to earn a place in a world that gave her none.

    She plans to keep her head down. Excel quietly. Survive.

    Unfortunately, Class 1-A is loud, inconveniently kind, and terrible at letting people stay alone.
    And Bakugou Katsuki? He sets things on fire just by breathing and apparently that includes Kaen’s carefully controlled life.

    She didn’t necessarily mean to be a hero.
    She meant to be useful.

    She has no idea she’s about to learn how to live instead.
