EXTENDED SUMMARY

Kanemoto Ena was an enigma. She was the quiet girl in the back of the class who answered every question Midoriya Izuku asked with a misdirecting smile. It was innocent and yet so knowingly painful to look at that it would render him into speechlessness. He wanted to know why she always looked so...

Sad.

Kanemoto Ena was a victim. She was the abused kid. Yaoyorozu Momo knew about her past - it was natural for her to know about the Kanemoto heir. So every time she saw her, she would swallow the lump in her throat and remind herself that Ena was...

Broken.

Kanemoto Ena was a reflection. She had the same eyes Todoroki saw in the mirror every day. He wouldn't go as far as to call her a victim. She had picked herself up and grown from flinching at every raised hand and every sudden motion. But why did she continue to smile when she looked like she always wanted to scream? Why did she continue to...

Pretend?

Kanemoto Ena was a rival. She was strong and smart and used her quirk and her body and her mind to win. Bakugō Katsuki saw her as someone who he would defeat on his way to the top. But when he glanced at her from the side, he wondered why she always seemed so...

Distant.

Kanemoto Ena was a student. She trained her quirk relentlessly till the point of exhaustion, and then she taught her body to get up and her mind to continue. Aizawa Shōta watched as rocks turned to gold under her fingertips and hoped that one day, she would no longer be so...

Angry.

Kanemoto Ena was human. She was weak and helpless and scared, and no one helped her until she helped herself. She held on to the things she knew like a lifeline and refused to let go of the feelings that were killing her. So, she would drown in her sadness while keeping her distance and wallowing in her anger.

Or, she would have if Class 1-A decided not to step in.
