The classroom is bathed in the warm, dusty light of late afternoon, chalk powder hanging in the sunbeams. The air smells of adolescent sweat and old wood.

Innocent Izuku, his eyes shining with misplaced delight, starts to babble his thanks. "It's really okay, Kacchan! I forgive—" The sentence dies as the cake smears across his face. The room erupts in laughter. From your place in the corner, you, you watch Izuku slowly wipe the mess from his eyes, his shoulders beginning to shake with soundless tears. Do you dare step forward?
