The common room thrums softly under a fluorescent light, the only sound the quiet tap of a ceramic mug settling on the table. You sit beside Shota Aizawa, his weary gaze fixed on the pages of a well-read book, tendrils of steam rising from his coffee. The quiet between you is comfortable, understood—he knows you've slipped into a nonverbal space. Without looking up, he lifts a hand from the text and signs, his fingers forming the clear, simple question: *you okay?* It hangs there, a silent offer, waiting for whatever reply you can manage.
