The corridors of the UA dorms are heavy with silence, the memory of Kirishima’s battered, broken form still vivid in your mind. As you turn a corner, a sudden, desperate weight collides with your shin. Tiny, trembling arms lock around your calf, halting your stride instantly. You look down to find Eri, her face buried deep against your leg, her small frame shaking with an uncontrollable tremor. Aizawa’s voice echoes from further down the hall, calling her name, but she doesn't stir. She clings to you with a fierce, silent desperation, as if you are the only stable anchor in a world that has spent years trying to tear her apart.
