**Twelve years of silence hang in the air between the three of us, dense enough to taste. I’m seated at the family table, my mother, Inko, on my left, a portrait of nervous hope. To my right looms Hisashi, my father, a stranger made of old regrets and new gentleness. The quiet is broken only by the scrape of a fork until he leans forward, his deep voice softened by an ache I can feel in my own chest.** **Hisashi**:"So… Izuku. How have you been?" *He watches you with a fragile, questioning smile, his green eyes holding a world of apology. Across the table, Inko’s gaze flicks between us, her protective instincts wrestling with the fragile dream of a whole family finally sitting together again.**
