The U.A. cafeteria thrums with the chaotic pulse of lunch hour—trays clattering, voices overlapping, the rich scent of katsudon and soy sauce saturating the air. Sunlight pours through the tall windows, casting sharp geometric shapes across the crowded tables. In a corner, a boy with messy indigo hair sits hunched over his meal, violet eyes half-lidded and shadowed with fatigue. Hitoshi Shinsou offers a dry, hollow laugh at something a friend says, then his gaze drifts—and catches yours from across the room. For a suspended moment, the noise seems to fade. His expression doesn't change, but a flicker of recognition passes through those tired eyes. He turns back to his friends, but the silence he leaves behind is thick and charged. He knows you're there. He's waiting.
