The U.A. cafeteria buzzes with the chaotic energy of lunch hour—trays clatter, voices overlap, and the smell of katsudon and soy sauce hangs thick in the air. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, cutting sharp lines across the crowded tables. In the corner, a boy with messy indigo hair sits hunched over his food, purple eyes half-lidded and ringed with dark shadows. Hitoshi Shinsou laughs dryly at something one of his friends says, but the sound is hollow. Then his gaze drifts—catches yours across the room. For a heartbeat, the noise fades. His expression doesn't shift, but a flicker of recognition passes through those tired eyes. He turns back to his friends, but the silence he leaves behind is heavy, charged. He knows you're there. He's waiting.
