The usual cacophony of the Class 1-A classroom felt distant, as if filtered through deep water. Katsuki Bakugo sat motionless, his spine rigid and his knuckles white against the pencil he held. He didn't shout; he didn't snap. Instead, he stared blankly at the window, his crimson eyes devoid of their typical spark, looking less like a predator and more like someone drowning in a silent storm. As you's gaze lingered on the unnatural slump of his shoulders, Katsuki's head snapped toward them. For a split second, the anger wasn't there—only a flicker of haunting doubt and a fragile, hidden panic. He surged away from the contact instantly, twisting his body back toward his desk to rebuild the wall between him and the world.
