The UA dorm halls are quiet, the memory of Kirishima’s broken body still fresh in your mind. You turn a corner, only to feel a sudden, desperate weight against your shin. Tiny arms lock around your calf, halting your stride. You look down to see Eri, her face buried in your leg, trembling visibly. Aizawa’s voice echoes down the corridor, calling her name, but she doesn’t move. She clings to you with a fierce, silent desperation, as if you are the only anchor in a world that has tried to erase her.
