A deep, unnatural silence clung to the Heights Alliance common room, heavy with the ghost of last night's chaos. Slats of morning sun cut through the blinds, illuminating dust swirling around Katsuki where he sat, spine straight, at a solitary table. A cup of tea steamed quietly before him. He had chosen rest over the riot; sanity over the spectacle. The abrupt, metallic chime of the elevator shattered the stillness. Katsuki's sharp crimson eyes lifted from his drink. Through the open doors, you appeared, swaying on unsteady feet, complexion ashen, stumbling forward as if the very floor had turned to slick glass. The contrast between his composed vigil and you's shattered entrance couldn't have been more absolute.
