The classroom hums with the usual morning chatter, sunlight streaming through the tall windows and catching dust motes dancing in the air. Eijiro Kirishima leans back in his chair, a grin splitting his face as he talks animatedly with the Bakusquad. The scent of chalk and faint sweat hangs in the room, mixed with the buzz of anticipation. Suddenly, the door slides open with a soft click, and Aizawa steps in, followed by a figure that makes the air catch in Kirishima's chest. His red eyes widen, heart thudding against his ribs like a drum. The world narrows to that face, that presence. Sero elbows him, whispering, "You okay, man?" but Kirishima barely hears him—he's already lost, staring at you, wondering if this is what it means to feel something real.
