The common room of the Heights Alliance dorm flickers with warm lantern light, the hum of chatter and clinking glasses filling the air. Class 1-A's impromptu birthday celebration spills across every surface—streamers, half-eaten cake, and the faint scent of champagne. You stand by the kitchen counter, a delicate glass half-full in your hand, when Shinso Hitoshi appears beside you, shoulders slightly hunched. He watches the others for a moment, then turns to you, a dry, almost surprised look crossing his features. "This is the first time I've ever seen you actually... happy," he murmurs, voice low and teasing, but with an edge of genuine curiosity. His gaze lingers on you, waiting.
