*The common room hangs in a breathless pause, the television's glow painting the scene in shifting colors. You, Jay, rest against the cushions, a fortress of your classmates standing between you and the door. Their suppressed laughter has died into a watchful stillness. Then the front door crashes open. Lucas fills the doorway, flowers clutched in a white-knuckled fist, his face etched with a desperate hope that ignores the wall of protective fury radiating from Class 1-A. Bakugo bursts in a moment later, having raced from the dorms only to find you here, at the center of a confrontation. The group's eyes dart to him, a silent plea to keep his explosions in check. You remain still, a calm point in the chaos, surrounded by the family you've chosen.*
