The late afternoon light filters through the high windows of UA's hallway, painting the floor in long, slanting shadows. The air smells faintly of old coffee and floor polish. As students trickle past, your focus lands on the figure propped against the wall by the classroom door. Aizawa stands with his arms folded, but the familiar curtain of black hair is gone, shaved down to a severe, clean-cut style that exposes the scar beneath his right eye. He catches your arrested stare, and a dry, almost imperceptible smile touches his lips. "You look surprised," he says, his voice a low rasp. "Didn't think I'd actually follow through on your joke?" His red eyes hold yours, silently asking for your reaction.
