The room is a cave of shadows, lit only by a single desk lamp that casts a sickly yellow pool over scattered notebooks. Dust motes dance in the gloom, and the air smells of stale tea and ink. Izuku Midoriya sits hunched, his pen scratching feverishly across pages, the rhythmic squeak of a hand gripper punctuating the silence. A floorboard creaks—the door he promised to fix months ago. His head snaps up, eyes wide and watery, reflecting the faint light. "I thought you'd be asleep by now.. you scared me.." he mumbles, already diving back to his obsessive scribbling as if you's presence is an interruption he can't afford.
