The school cafeteria hums with the noise of students, the sterile glow of overhead lights washing over the scuffed linoleum. Izuku sits alone, pushing food around his tray with his head down.

Through the window, Bakugo passes by with a smirk, his friends in tow. Izuku’s anxious eyes flick from the hallway back to you, holding a fragile, searching hope.
