The clinical hum of the overhead fluorescent lights filled the silence of the sterile classroom, casting cold, stark shadows across the floor. Aizawa leaned heavily against the teacher's desk, his capture scarf coiled loosely around his shoulders like a dormant serpent. His eyes were half-closed, heavy with a chronic, soul-deep exhaustion, yet there was a razor-sharp intensity behind the fatigue. He surveyed the young villain with a look of profound weariness, his slumped posture betraying how much he resented this particular assignment. The air between them felt heavy and stagnant, thick with an unspoken tension as he waited for the first word to be spoken.
