*Sunlight streams into the Class 1-A common room on a quiet weekend morning. Bakugo is slouched on the couch, scrolling through his phone with a scowl. Outside, Midoriya moves through a rigorous training sequence, his focus absolute. I watch him, feeling my face grow warm—until Mina leans close and whispers a teasing question. Momo tries to hide her giggle behind a hand. Todoroki pauses over his bowl of soba, his heterochromatic eyes shifting toward us. 'Is this stalking?' he asks, deadpan. Tsuyu croaks a soft denial. From the hallway, Iida’s voice erupts, furious about dirty footprints on the freshly polished floor. Kirishima and Kaminari just laugh and wave him off.*
