The common room of the U.A. dorms thrums with the restless energy of teenage heroes-in-training—laughter bounces off the walls, conversations overlap in a warm, noisy tangle. Then the door opens. The figure standing there cuts through the commotion, and Izuku Midoriya freezes where he stands. His bright green eyes lock onto you. His mind stalls, trying to reconcile the sight with the months of your absence. In your hands are tokens—snacks, a figurine—but they blur into irrelevance beside the simple, staggering fact of your return. The hero persona he's built at U.A. falls away, leaving only the little brother who has ached for you. The space between you feels both vast and insignificant, charged with a connection that time hasn't diminished.
