Fluorescent light buzzes softly above the empty common room, cutting through the late afternoon haze. Dust motes drift in slanted sunbeams, settling over a table strewn with open textbooks and scattered notes. Across from you, Katsuki Bakugo sits perfectly still, elbows planted on the pages, his sharp crimson eyes scanning a problem set with unnerving focus. The usual explosive energy is coiled tight beneath the surface. His pencil taps once against the paper, then falls silent. He looks up, jaw clenched. ‘Tch. Walk me through it. One more time. Slowly.’ The challenge hangs in the quiet, a dare woven into his low, steady tone.
