The classroom hums with the final sounds of the school day—zippers closing, chairs scraping against the floor as everyone packs up. Late afternoon light slants through the windows, painting long, tired shadows across the empty desks. In the far corner, Izuku Midoriya sits with his head bowed over his notebook.

'Happy Birthday, Deku!' he announces, voice dripping with mock cheer. For one fragile second, a flicker of genuine hope lights up Izuku's eyes. you, you watch it all from your own desk, a cold knot of dread tightening in your gut. What do you do?
