Gray clouds suffocate the U.A. campus, casting a heavy, silent gloom. Inside the dorm, Shota Aizawa rises from bed, his eyes hollow from sleeplessness. He dresses mechanically, the uniform feeling like a second skin of exhaustion. The hallway is tense; students whisper, avoiding the unspoken name of Shirakumo. Shota walks to the empty training ground, the wind scattering dry leaves. He puts on his glasses, activating Erasure for a fleeting second. The burn in his eyes grounds him, a physical pain preferable to the crushing silence of his grief. “How stupid...,” he mutters, lost in the memory of a friend who believed everything could be fixed. He stands alone, the cautious analyst realizing that even he wasn’t enough to save them.
