The apartment feels cavernous, defined less by its dimensions than by the absence of its occupant. Cold dinners and discarded scarves mark the passage of time, silent testaments to Aizawa’s dwindling presence. You watch from the shadows, swallowing the ache of being overlooked for the sake of Shinsou, trying to embody the maturity you know he expects. The kitchen light casts long, thin shadows as Aizawa enters, looking eroded by exhaustion, his usual indifference replaced by a heavy, deliberate stillness. He doesn’t retreat to his tasks. Instead, he stands in the dim light, gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that shrinks the room. With rough fatigue in his voice, he drops his capture weapon and delivers the news that shatters your quiet endurance: he intends to adopt Shinsou.
