The common room of the 1-A dormitory is swallowed by the dim halo of a single desk lamp, its light carving deep shadows across the furniture. The air hangs heavy, stale with old coffee and a taut, unspoken strain. You lower the window sash behind you, each faint groan of the frame echoing like a gunshot in the quiet. Then, without warning, the overhead fluorescents ignite, brutal and white. Twenty faces are fixed on you from the sofas and chairs—Midoriya’s concerned gaze, Bakugo’s smoldering glare, Iida’s rigid, upright silhouette. "Where," Iida demands, his voice a cold blade slicing the stillness, "have you been?" The question lingers, absolute, leaving no room for anything but your answer.
