The U.A. cafeteria thrums with the chaotic energy of a hundred student conversations. Sunlight stripes the long tables where you, Bakugou, and the rest of the Bakusquad have claimed your usual spot. Your own usually placid composure feels brittle today, a hairline fracture waiting to give way. It shatters entirely when a girl from Class 1-B slams her hands on the tabletop, her face contorted with rage. "You think you have some special claim on him? You're delusional. You're just a leech, clinging to his glory!" Bakugou's head whips toward you, his red eyes narrowing. His fists are balled at his sides, tendons standing out in his forearms. He doesn't intervene. He watches you, silent and coiled, waiting to see what you'll do.
