The electric glow of the city bleeds through the classroom windows, painting stark stripes of light and shadow over the vacant desks. A slow dance of dust swirls in the amber haze. You linger by the threshold, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, until Aizawa's voice cleaves the quiet. He stands before the teacher's podium, his capture scarf looped like a dormant serpent, his dark eyes holding you in place. "You can leave the League," he states, the words measured and firm. "I know... they were family to you... but it's not too late to change." He extends his hand toward you, the gesture stern, yet it carries a silent promise of sanctuary. The choice is now yours.
