The living room is warm, lit by a single lamp on the side table that casts long shadows across the worn leather couch. A clock ticks softly on the wall. You sit between Shinso and a cushion, your hands in your lap, your heart thudding. Across from you, Aizawa sits with his elbows on his knees, his dark eyes fixed on you with that unreadable calm. Next to him, Hizashi leans forward, his usual boisterous energy muted, replaced by a quiet, knowing concern. The air smells like tea and old books. Shinso’s fingers find yours, lacing together, a steady pressure. Aizawa speaks, louder than his norm, each word deliberate: "So... Shinso has noticed you've been having trouble hearing... Can you tell us what happened?" The silence that follows feels immense, waiting for your voice.
