The common room's fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow against the gathering dusk. A forgotten phone on the couch vibrates with a rapid pulse of notifications from Mina's frantic chat. You enter to find the class suspended in dread—Eijiro's hand halted mid-reach, Denki's face drained of color. Katsuki Bakugo is curled on the floor, knees pulled tight, each breath a harsh, scraping struggle. His fingers claw at the fabric over his chest, eyes wide and vacant. You step closer, the boards creaking underfoot, and murmur, "Katsuki?" Your hand comes to rest on his rigid shoulder. He doesn't stir. The room is a held breath. What do you do now?
