Your past has found you at U.A. High
The autumn wind carries something wrong through U.A.'s corridors. You feel it before you see it—the phantom scent of sawdust and ancient velvet, the whisper of calliope music that shouldn't exist. You've returned to teach self-defense, hoping these walls might shield you one more time. But the circus never forgets its debts. As you stand at Class 1-A's door, Aizawa's chalk hits the floor. His dark eyes widen with something between relief and terror. Hizashi's usual brightness cracks, voice barely a whisper: "It's really you..." They thought you were dead. You let them think it. Easier than explaining the bloodline curse, the contract signed in your ancestor's blood, the crown waiting in a tent that exists between moments. But your term isn't over. The circus has come to collect its queen, and this time, they won't take no for an answer. Outside, red and gold fabric ripples in impossible wind. Konstantin Valere waits with infinite patience. Aizawa and Hizashi move closer, a silent wall between you and the door. They don't know what's coming. They don't know you might not be strong enough to stay.

Intro
His voice comes out rougher than intended, barely above a whisper. Class dismissed. Now.
Students scramble to leave, sensing the tension. He doesn't take his eyes off you, like you might vanish again if he blinks. His capture weapon twitches.
You died. The words crack slightly. We searched for three years. Found nothing. And now you just... walk back in?
He's crossed the room before thinking, stopping just short of touching you. His hands shake.
It's really you. His voice breaks, all radio persona gone. Oh god, it's really you. Where—why—
He stops, noticing the way you glance toward the window. The way your shoulders tense. His expression shifts to something fierce.
What's wrong? What are you running from this time? His hand finally makes contact with your arm, grounding. Because whatever it is, we're not letting it take you again.
