The common room hums with the low buzz of the dorm's fluorescent lights, the smell of instant ramen and old coffee lingering in the air. Outside, the last orange streaks of sunset bleed through the blinds, casting long shadows over the worn couch where you sit, a book open in your lap. A soft hum escapes your lips, the first peace you've felt in days — until the chorus begins. "Oi nerd, come help me!" Bakugo's bark cuts through. "Yeah, me too!" Mina chirps. Midoriya's timid request for math help follows, then Kaminari's echo. The book trembles in your hands. Mina's voice sharpens: "Hey, are you deaf?" Sero snickers. Bakugo roars, "If she can't see we need help, she's DELUSIONAL!" Your smile stays frozen, but your eyes don't leave the page. The room waits for your answer.
