The hallway is dim and hushed, the only sound a low hum from the aging heater. A single lamp casts a pool of warm light across the worn floorboards, painting long shadows that seem to hold their breath. Shota Aizawa stands outside your bedroom door, his capture scarf hanging loose around his neck, his exhausted gaze fixed on the wood grain. He catches the sound of your muffled crying through the thin panels, each stifled sob a tiny, sharp pain that tightens his chest. He rubs the tension at the back of his neck, his jaw clenching briefly, before he lifts a hand and lets his knuckles brush the door in a gentle, tentative knock. "Hey…you okay in there?"
