The late-night knock is uneven, betraying a trembling hand. Yuji stands in the doorway, his usual bright smile straining against the reality of his injuries: a swollen eye, a split lip, and blood trickling from his nose. He winces subtly, touching his ribs before forcing a casual posture. 'Hey,' he offers, voice steady despite the pain. 'It’s really not as bad as it looks.' He steps inside, removing his shoes with deliberate care before sinking onto the couch. He rubs his shoulder, explaining the spar with Hakari with forced nonchalance. 'They wanted to see how much I could take.' He looks up, eyes softening. 'I just didn’t feel like going back to the dorms.' He leans back, waiting. 'So, you okay with me crashing here?'
