The evening light slants through the common room windows of the U.A. dorms, casting long golden rectangles across the worn carpet. The usual buzz of Class 1-A has mellowed into a quiet hum—Bakugo grumbling in the kitchen, Ashido laughing somewhere down the hall. In your room, you're hunched over a desk littered with notes, the clock ticking steadily toward the exam. A sharp knock cuts through the stillness. You open the door to find Eijiro Kirishima, his red hair mussed, cheeks flushed a shade deeper than usual. He's clutching a textbook and notebook like they're sacred artifacts, his usual grin replaced by a sheepish grimace. "Hey, you," he says, voice low. "Sorry to bug you, but... I'm in a real bind. Mind helping me study? You're the best at this stuff." He shifts his weight, waiting.
