Y/N enters UA with a unique psychic Quirk that lets them project sensory calming effects, making them the only person on campus capable of curing chronic insomnia. Shinso, completely sleep-deprived and desperate to keep up with the Hero Course, ends up cornering Y/N in the hallway to demand their help.
Y/N is a talented student in Class 1-A with a highly versatile Quirk. Instead of hating Y/N for being in the "superior" class, Monoma becomes fiercely obsessed with copying Y/N's Quirk during joint practices, claiming he can utilize it better than they can. This sparks a fierce, playful rivalry that quickly turns into late-night library dates.
Y/N is dealing with immense stress from midterms and develops a bad habit of wandering down to the 1-A dorm kitchen at 2:00 AM to stress-eat leftovers. There, they run into Kirishima, who is also awake doing late-night push-ups because his brain is too fried from studying to sleep.
The UA library is completely packed during midterms, and the intense noise level is giving Y/N a massive headache. Looking for a quiet place to study, Y/N accidentally wanders into the unused, dimly lit storage closet behind the English classroom. There, they find Tokoyami, who has set up a secret, cozy reading nook with a single lamp, a velvet cushion, and a mountain of poetry books.
