The fluorescent panels in the teacher's lounge drone a low, steady hum above a rising argument. Through the frosted glass, the silhouettes of Japan's greatest heroes loom and gesture—All Might's broad-shouldered laugh, Endeavour's cutting reply, Mirko's coiled, defiant posture. You halt in the corridor, the sole of your worn sneaker giving a faint squeak against the polished floor. Their voices leak around the doorframe, clashing over *you*—a fifteen-year-old living without kin. Did you catch that? The air grows dense, charged, as footsteps shift weight inside. The door handle clicks and begins to turn. They have no clue you're standing there, listening.
