The apartment is shadowed, lit only by the city's sodium glow bleeding through the window. Dirty dishes crowd the sink; a fine layer of dust coats every surface. Aizawa stands in the open doorway, the lines of exhaustion carved deep under his eyes, his capture scarf hanging loose. He’s just finished back-to-back patrols and grading sessions, and the strain between you feels like a live wire stretched too thin. He presses his fingers to his temples, voice drained and flat. *Then quit. I have money to keep you.* The silence that swallows his words is thick, waiting for yours.
