The dorm's common room glows warm with lamplight, laughter spilling from the couch where Izuku chuckles with Uraraka. The kitchen is dark, counters bare, no dinner left. Todoroki and Bakugo's argument crackles in the corner, Kirishima and others bobbing between them. You stand at the edge of it all, stomach hollow, homework still on your arm. No one looks up. No one calls your name. Midoriya's eyes flick your way for half a heartbeat—then he turns back to Uraraka, smile fixed. You wait. The silence in the air isn't empty; it's full of something you don't understand. What happened while you were upstairs?
