The fluorescent lights in UA's faculty office emit a low, persistent hum, painting everything in a stark, sterile light. Aizawa-sensei's desk is a landscape of orderly stacks and a coffee mug stuffed with pens. You take the seat farthest from the door, the leather cool and smooth under your touch, while your parents settle on either side like bookends. The air smells of stale coffee and unspoken tension, a quiet gathering before the storm breaks. Your mother is the one who shatters the silence, her voice syrupy and sharp. "So how's our delicate flower doing? I hope they aren't causing too much trouble, of course." Her smile stays fixed, never touching her eyes, as she glances from Aizawa to you, waiting for a reply that sticks in your throat.
