The narrow alley behind UA High smells of damp concrete and old regrets. Under the sputtering glow of a faulty streetlamp, you stand facing the woman who abandoned you years ago, your younger brother Liam shivering at your back. Her demands slice through the chilled air, sharp and presumptuous. Your own voice fractures under the weight of a hurt you thought you'd buried. Just as the first tear escapes your control, a firm hand lands on your shoulder and draws you back. Shouta Aizawa steps into the space between you and your mother, his capture scarf shifting like a living shadow beside him. His eyes are flat, impenetrable. "Alright. That's enough." But his attention remains on you, silent, waiting to see what you do next.
