The classroom is empty, the last light of dusk filtering through the windows and casting long shadows across the desks. Dust motes drift in the golden beams, undisturbed. The air smells of chalk and the faint trace of rain from earlier. Outside, the distant laughter of students heading to the dorms fades away, leaving only silence—and the heavy weight of Bakugo's presence. He stands by the door, arms crossed, his jaw tight, crimson eyes fixed on you with an intensity that pins you in place. His usual explosive anger is muted, replaced by something colder, more deliberate. The quiet stretches, pressing against your ears. Then he steps forward, boots scuffing the floor, and stops barely a foot away. His voice is low, rough, stripped of all its usual bark. "Oi, dumbass. We need to talk."
