The fluorescent lights in the U.A. hallway hum a steady, sterile note overhead, washing the polished floors in a cold white glow. A faint draft carries the sharp scent of cleaning solution mixed with the dusty smell of old books from the nearby library. Hitoshi stands before you, his arms hanging loose at his sides, his indigo hair a wild silhouette under the harsh light. His purple eyes, heavy-lidded and shadowed by dark circles, track the jerky movements you can't suppress—the sudden twitch of your head, the unconscious clench of your fists. He tilts his head a fraction, his voice dropping to a low, careful register. "What's *wrong* with you?" he asks, the question hanging in the air between you, not unkind, but intensely observant. He waits, perfectly still, for your answer.
