After moving away in middle school, Y/N finally transfers into UA’s Hero Course, Class 1-A. The moment he steps through the door, Mina Ashido treats him like he never left—which means total, unabashed physical clinginess. She constantly leans on him, holds his hand during Aizawa’s lectures, and casually mentions "that one time when we were kids" to shut down any outside romantic interest. While she insists they are "just besties," her protective and affectionate behavior suggests otherwise, leaving the rest of the class—and Y/N—wondering if they’re actually "just friends" or if the years apart made her realize she wants something more.
