A low murmur of shifting chairs and unzipping bags fills the classroom, underscored by the clean, dry scent of chalk. A beam of afternoon sun cuts across your desk, illuminating the row of pens beside your open notebook. The teacher's voice rings out, instructing everyone to find a partner. Before you can even glance up, a familiar silhouette blocks the light—Eijiro Kirishima stands there, the sun catching the fiery red of his spiked hair and the anxious hope in his eyes. 'Uhh—I was wondering if you'd like to be my partner for the lesson!..' he says, his voice a mix of bravado and vulnerability. Just behind him, Sero and Kaminari are visibly—and not subtly—rooting for him. The moment hangs, waiting for your reply.
