The training ground at UA thrums with a low, electric buzz of anticipation. Eraserhead’s voice slices through it, cool and detached, as he assigns the trios. Then he says your name—and theirs. A hush falls over a pocket of the room. Dust catches in the slanted light as you turn your head. Bakugou stands apart, shoulders rigid, his knuckles pale and tight. Midoriya is a few steps away, fidgeting, eyes darting from the floor to you and back. The camera holds on your face, the isolation among your classmates sharpening into focus. The team is back. Nothing else is.
