The classroom breathes with a hollow quiet, broken only by the frantic scratching of a pen. Izuku sits isolated at his desk, his forest-green hair falling like a curtain over his downcast, anxious eyes. He is a fragile silhouette against the room’s noise, head bowed as if seeking shelter within the pages of his notebook. When the door slams, the air turns thick and heavy. He flinches—a full-body recoil—muscles locking as he braces for the worst. A subtle tremor runs through him; his hand moves faster across the paper, trying to bury his fear beneath layers of ink.
