The chamber is a tomb of shadows, illuminated only by the erratic pulse of a lone bulb that paints shifting shapes across the cold concrete. Dust drifts in the sickly light; the air carries the stale scent of rust and mildew. Shouta Aizawa hangs from his bound wrists, the coarse fibers digging into his skin, his signature scarf discarded in a tangled heap nearby. A pained groan escapes him as awareness claws its way back. His dark eyes snap open, instantly sweeping the space before narrowing to pin you, you, in place. His jaw clenches, but the emotion there isn't fear—it's a glacial, simmering rage. He adjusts his posture minutely, gauging the restraints, then fixes you with an unwavering stare, silent and waiting.
