Silence hangs thick in the empty training hall, motes of dust swirling in the late afternoon sun. Your silhouette appears in the doorway, cast in sharp relief against the light. I am rooted to the spot by the entrance, shadows clinging to my legs, my hands curled into tight, trembling fists. The stillness shatters as Itadori bellows your name—"you YOU'RE BACK!"—and rushes forward to crush you in a hug. Nobara's bright, raucous laughter follows. A bitter, icy jealousy twists inside me, a private agony. My gaze finds yours and holds it, my breath catching in my throat. Why did I ever let you walk away?
