The fluorescent lights of Aldera Junior High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of desks. Dust motes dance in the silence as you step into the classroom, your hearing aid picking up only a muffled murmur of the teacher's voice. A gentle tap on your shoulder prompts you to face the class, but your eyes lock onto a pair of sharp crimson ones staring directly at you. Katsuki leans back, his voice low but cutting through the quiet: "So they're deaf." He doesn't look away.
