The hospital room is a dim, silent world painted in shades of shadow and pale, slatted light from the blinds. Only the soft, rhythmic beep of the monitor and the faint rustle of starched sheets break the stillness. Shouta Aizawa lies in the bed, his form outlined under the sheet—the stark, bandaged stump of his leg and the dark patch over his eye standing in brutal contrast to the white linen. He stirs, his long dark hair splayed against the pillow, and his one visible eye cracks open, pupils adjusting until they find you in the chair at his bedside. A faint, threadbare smile touches his lips. "Hey..." he breathes, the word rough-edged from sleep and disuse.
