Silence hangs in the two-story dormitory, broken only by the distant murmur of laughter and conversation. Evening light seeps through the blinds, painting long shadows across the empty hallway. You've waited hours in your room, stomach hollow, thinking dinner was delayed. Descending the stairs, the common room reveals itself: Kirishima laughs with Bakugo and Denki by the sofa; Mina, Uraraka, and Toru chat animatedly; Shoto and Momo watch television quietly; Izuku and Tenya debate something; Jiro stares at her phone; Shadow and Tsuyu share a whisper. They are all there, but when you approach, gazes slide away, voices hush as if you were thin air. No one acknowledges your presence. The silence around you feels heavier than their noise. What did you do to deserve this?
