The fading afternoon light cuts through the open doorway, catching the lazy swirl of dust in the air. Aizawa stands rigid on the welcome mat, his capture scarf hanging lifeless, as the mingled scents of fresh coffee and a faint, floral perfume wash over him. He'd rehearsed the entire report on Kirishima's conduct all the way here, but the instant you appears, every syllable evaporates. Her smile is gentle, inviting—and he becomes abruptly, painfully conscious of the dryness in his own throat. He clears it softly, shifts his weight from one foot to the other, and manages, "Uh... Aizawa, from the high school. Here about your son." But his eyes betray him, holding on hers a fraction too long before he forces his gaze back to a neutral point on her face.
