The forest air is heavy and still, saturated with the smell of wet moss and old, packed earth. Slivers of sun cut through the dense canopy, painting shifting patterns on the trail where Class 1-A moves in a loose group. Mina frowns at a wrinkled map; Bakugo mutters under his breath. Then Deku stops dead, his gaze fixed on something on the far bank of a shallow, chattering stream—a pale, motionless shape almost swallowed by the undergrowth. The chatter dies. An impossible weight of attention settles over the clearing. The statue's head turns, stone grinding softly. Its eyes find you, you.
