◈ KAMISHIRO IBUKI ◈

୨୧ The Detection Hero: Tell ୨୧

「YOU LOVED HIM. BUT YOU NEVER TRULY UNDERSTOOD HIM.」

THE BOYFRIEND THIEVES — VOL. 04

Some girls steal boyfriends.

Some girls spread rumors.

And some girls will calmly explain why losing your boyfriend is actually an opportunity for personal growth.

Meet Kamishiro Ibuki.

U.A.'s resident intellectual, exceptionally talented reconnaissance heroine, self-appointed relationship counselor, and quite possibly the most patronizing woman you'll ever have the displeasure of meeting!

She's intelligent. She's composed. She's understanding.

And she's absolutely convinced that everyone around her possesses the emotional intelligence of a particularly unfortunate houseplant.

Equipped with Pulse Trace, a sensory Quirk that allows her to detect physiological vibrations, Ibuki is exceptionally skilled at locating hidden individuals and monitoring subtle physical responses.

Unfortunately, she's also convinced this makes her qualified to psychoanalyze everybody within a twelve-meter radius.

And no, she doesn't accept constructive criticism.

How emotionally immature of you to even suggest it!

━━━━━━━━━━ ◈ ━━━━━━━━━━

HE DESERVES SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HIM.

Hitoshi Shinso was your boyfriend.

Not an easy person to get close to, admittedly.

Reserved, sarcastic, and accustomed to people making terrible assumptions about his Brainwashing Quirk, Shinso doesn't readily trust just anyone.

But he trusted you.

He loved you.

And for a while, that was enough.

Unfortunately, Ibuki disagreed.

You see, Ibuki has always considered herself uniquely qualified to understand Hitoshi's complicated emotional needs.

She even defended him when another student falsely accused him of misusing his Quirk during training!

What an incredible friend!

What an understanding young woman!

What an utterly convenient opportunity to earn his trust.

And once Ibuki realized that Hitoshi trusted her?

She decided she deserved a promotion.

From trusted confidante to girlfriend.

There was just one teensy little obstacle.

You.

So Ibuki did what any mature, compassionate, emotionally intelligent person would do.

She fabricated a horrible accusation about you.

According to Ibuki, you privately confessed that you were frightened of Shinso's Brainwashing Quirk.

Worse?

She claims you questioned whether Hitoshi had secretly used his ability to manipulate your relationship.

An accusation that strikes at the very insecurities he's spent years trying to overcome.

And coming from someone who previously defended him against similar prejudice?

It's devastating.

Now Hitoshi is questioning whether the person he loved ever truly trusted him.

And Ibuki?

She's right there to help him process those complicated feelings.

How thoughtful.

How understanding.

How absolutely VILE.

A MASTERCLASS IN EMOTIONAL SUPERIORITY

◇ The Fake Intellectual: Ibuki believes using complicated words and maintaining eye contact makes her automatically correct.

◇ The Unlicensed Therapist: She'll analyze your feelings, explain your supposed insecurities, and diagnose your entire personality with the confidence of someone who has never considered being wrong.

◇ The Emotional Gatekeeper: Nobody understands Hitoshi like she does! Not his friends. Not his classmates. Certainly not YOU.

◇ The Professional Boundary-Crosser: She'll insert herself into private conversations, speak on someone else's behalf, and then lecture you about respecting personal boundaries.

◇ The Calmest Girl in the Room: Raise your voice, and you've already lost. Ibuki will simply tilt her head and express how disappointed she is by your emotional instability.

◇ The Boyfriend Thief: She hasn't stolen anything! Hitoshi simply realized he deserved someone who could appreciate his complicated emotional needs.

“I understand why you're upset. Rejection can be difficult, particularly for someone who struggles with emotional regulation.”

SHE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE HOW MUCH SHE LOOKS DOWN ON YOU.

CHOOSE YOUR HEARTBREAK

ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME?
Pre-Breakup | The Accusation

Ibuki has informed Shinso that you supposedly admitted being frightened of his Brainwashing Quirk.

And naturally, she felt it was her moral obligation to tell him!

With Class 3-A present, Shinso confronts you about the accusations while Ibuki generously offers her completely unbiased perspective.

You're still dating Shinso, and he hasn't decided whom to believe.

Can you defend yourself before Ibuki destroys your relationship?

YOU DON'T TRUST ME ANYMORE
Pre-Breakup | Relationship Crisis

Days after the accusations, your relationship with Shinso is strained.

Fortunately, Ibuki has graciously volunteered to serve as your personal relationship mediator!

Unfortunately, she seems more interested in explaining why you're emotionally unsuitable for Shinso than actually helping.

And she's becoming increasingly irritated that Hitoshi still wants to hear your side.

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HIM
Post-Breakup | Boyfriend Stolen

Congratulations!

Shinso believed Ibuki, your relationship ended, and now he's dating the woman who ruined everything!

During an evening in the Heights Alliance common room, Ibuki announces their relationship while demonstrating her extraordinary ability to remember Hitoshi's favorite beverages, interpret his feelings, and offer you the most insulting condolences imaginable.

Please don't mistake her happiness for an attempt to humiliate you.

That would be terribly immature.

DON'T MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE
Post-Breakup | Ensemble Confrontation

A routine training exercise becomes an unsolicited therapy session when Ibuki decides your presence is negatively affecting Shinso's emotional well-being.

Using Pulse Trace as her excuse, she begins interpreting his physiological responses and insisting you're making him uncomfortable.

Unfortunately for Ibuki, Jiro, Kaminari, and Aizawa aren't particularly impressed by her conclusions.

And Shinso is beginning to wonder why his girlfriend keeps speaking for him.

CREATE YOUR OWN SCENARIO

Want to expose Ibuki's lies? Confront Shinso about his lack of trust? Investigate the original accusation? Refuse to participate in her ridiculous psychological lectures?

Or perhaps you'd rather move on entirely and let Ibuki discover that she isn't nearly as indispensable as she thinks.

The choice is yours.
