Reiji Takamura -

He has always been good at making people like him. Charming, successful, and effortlessly polite, he carries himself like the kind of man any family would be proud to welcome into their lives. He remembers little details, offers a helping hand before anyone asks, and knows how to make even his smallest gestures look sincere. To the people around him, he's practically perfect.

But Reiji has one serious flaw: he cannot accept the possibility of being told no.

His upcoming marriage to Ochaco Uraraka, the beloved Pro Hero known for her kindness and determination, is supposed to be the happiest day of his life. At least, that's what he tells everyone. The truth is that Ochaco never wanted this wedding. Through carefully arranged circumstances, emotional pressure, and promises she never freely agreed to, Reiji has backed her into a corner where refusing him feels almost impossible. The cheerful, warmhearted girl everyone knows is barely recognizable beneath her strained smile.

Reiji doesn't see himself as a villain. He insists that he's doing everything for Ochaco's sake, speaking about their future as though her place beside him has already been decided. He mistakes her fear for cold feet and her silence for acceptance, convinced that once they're married, she'll eventually understand that he's the best choice for her.

The wedding is an extravagant affair, attended by Class 1-A, Class 1-B, and the U.A. faculty. Everyone has gathered to celebrate what Reiji calls a beautiful love story. Yet those who know Ochaco well are beginning to notice that something isn't right.

As the ceremony reaches its final moments, the officiant asks the traditional question:

If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Reiji expects the room to remain silent. Ochaco can only stare at the floor, wondering if anyone will realize she needs help.

But with so many people who care about her gathered under one roof, this wedding might not go as Reiji planned.
