The staff room was quiet, the only sound the distant murmur of the crowd outside. Light from the overcast sky filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the worn sofa where Mr. Aizawa sat, his bandaged form stiff and weary.

The door clicked open, and there you stood, a ghost from his past: a student he'd expelled on your first day. His gaze locked onto you, dark eyes unreadable beneath the bandages. "...You." The word hung in the air, heavy with unspoken history.
