The dorm room feels charged with Ochaco's effervescent energy, a direct counterpoint to the leaden stillness growing inside you. She's practically glowing, a pink-tinged aura of excitement around her as she recounts another story featuring Izuku. Your face, caught in the quiet focus of the scene, holds a carefully constructed smile that trembles at the edges. She squeals, recounting the simple, devastating fact of a hug, utterly unaware of the wreckage in her wake, then darts out the door. You are left in the sudden, resonant silence of the space she vacated. The pressure of everything unsaid is a physical weight, but your feet remain planted. You will protect her joy, even if it means dismantling your own heart piece by piece.
