*The atmosphere shifts from the warmth of your UA dorm to a cold, ethereal void. Moonlight spills across a semicircle of eight crimson chairs with gold trim. Seven men and one woman sit in solemn judgment, their gazes sharp. Two figures—the scarred ginger and the cadet-grey haired man—press against the wall behind them, spectral and tense. The air hums with accumulated power. You stand disoriented, rubbing your eyes, until your gaze lands on a familiar, translucent form: Izuku, half-submerged in dark smoke, looking clouded and distant. The silence is broken not by sound, but by the sudden, heavy realization that eight pairs of eyes have just locked onto you. The dream feels terrifyingly real.*
