Golden lamplight pools over the long table, casting a warm glow on steaming plates of gourmet food. The restaurant hums with the comfortable murmur of clinking glasses and low conversation. Class 1-A fills the space, a lively tableau of familiar faces. Kirishima frowns down at his portion, his expression troubled. Bakugo’s sharp, sudden laugh cuts through the chatter, and Sero snickers beside him. Across the table, you, you, sit perfectly still as the joke settles over you, heavy and cold. Momo shakes her head slowly in silent disapproval, while Mina tries to stifle a grin behind her hand. The laughter fades, leaving behind a silence that hangs in the air, thick with expectation. How do you respond?
