"Look out!" Sunny's whipped to the side. He instinctively held his hands out in front of him. Instead of hitting the ground, he managed to catch himself, though his palms were bruised. An ugly cut ran down the middle of his palm, spilling a couple drops of blood.

Quite a shallow wound for his troubles.

 After, Omori took over his body and summoned red hands, using them to hold his body up. It left a thin crack in the road, but it wasn't too noticeable...Surely there weren't any cameras around.

A familiar white spread across his fingertips, desperately crawling up his skin. Fortunately, he had used his power for long, so they quickly receded back into his mind. Back into Omori.

Sunny was given control over his own body again. He was thankful for that. Luckily, there weren't any vehicles around, so he had time to turn around and grab the other person's wrist, leading them towards the other side of the street. 

"I'm so sorry!" Sunny turned around to see a girl with brown hair that reached her shoulders bowing. She had a troubled look on her face and tears that threatened to spill. "...It's fine." He said nonchalantly. The girl sighed in relief and stood up straight, dusting off her skirt. She was slightly taller than him, though that wasn't that difficult of a feat.

"I was just distracted by one of the signs over there, and I didn't see you until last minute - I'm really sorry, sir! Ah...I'm Ochaco Uraraka. I'm heading to the UA practice exams, though this isn't very heroic of me...haha..." She explained, her face burning out of embarrassment. "So...How about you? Got a name?" She asked. 

Sunny maintained a neutral expression. "I'm Sunny. I'm also going to the entrance exams." "Really?! I'll come with you!" She grinned. Sunny deadpanned. Did he really want to go skip into the sunset - sunrise, this early in the morning - with a girl who nearly killed him?...Not really.

Having a choice was another matter.

"I've never seen you before. Are you new to this area?" Uraraka asked. Sunny looked at the streets, his eyes drawn to the occasional car that would pass by. "I moved here from FARAWAY." "Really? That's very...far away." She grinned. Sunny's expression remained stoic at her pun, making her nervous. 

"..."

"..."

After a long journey, the duo stood in front of UA. It seemed like a dream, standing in front of a building so huge. Uraraka looked overwhelmed at the site, while Sunny simply stared. It is remarkable...He supposed.

Headspace was prettier. All those vibrant colors and cute little creatures made his heart want to explode and...yeah.

A green haired boy walked slightly in front of them. With freckles across his cheeks and naturally big eyes, he seemed rather timid.

Before he could get much further, he tripped over his own shoe, falling with little time to comprehend what just happened. Uraraka hurriedly reached a hand out and pressed a finger against his back. The boy froze in place, floating in midair. He looked shocked, trembling like a leaf. He couldn't even utter a word, 'Poor guy.'

 "Are you all right?" Uraraka asked. The boy started to freak out. Uraraka gently touched him, deactivating her quirk. "It's my quirk." She clarified, stating the obvious. "Sorry for using it without asking first. But it'd be bad luck if you fell, right?" She gave a closed eyed smile. The green haired boy stared at her like an idiot.

"Aren't you nervous?"  Uraraka continued on. "Uh...!" The boy started to sweat. "Let's do our best, mkay. See ya!" She waved to both Sunny and the boy as she ran off. "..." Sunny walked past the green-haired boy without even so much as a glance, his eyes glued to Uraraka's back as he caught up with her.
