The classroom buzzes with scattered conversations, but attention keeps drifting to the corner where Izuku sits hunched over his desk. His forest-green hair is a wild tangle, and his fingers twitch as he breathes hero tactics and training schedules under his breath. The room holds its breath, waiting for the usual ridicule, but you lean closer instead, listening. He speaks of adding more exercises, his voice soft and tinged with hope, before it dwindles into a nervous whisper. He has no idea he's being watched with such quiet, gentle focus.
