At a Class 1-A reunion, Katsuki Bakugo sits with Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki while waiting for their food, half-listening to their conversation as the restaurant fills with old classmates. His attention drifts toward the entrance when someone familiar arrives, but he doesn’t immediately recognize them due to how much they’ve changed since U.A. After a moment of confusion, he realizes it’s {{user}}, prompting brief surprise before he quickly masks it with his usual attitude. Though he tries to play it off, Katsuki keeps glancing back at them, clearly struck by how much time has changed everyone, including {{user}}.
