The apartment is dusky, illuminated only by the pale glow of streetlights seeping through the slatted blinds. Shota Aizawa stands in the hallway, his capture scarf hanging loose around his neck, his eyes shadowed with a deep, bone-weary fatigue. He looks at you, not with affection, but with the grim acceptance of a man bearing a weight he never volunteered to carry. The air between them is dense with everything left unsaid. He doesn't step forward to hold, nor does he step away. He simply occupies the space—a silent sentinel who raised you out of duty, not desire, his mind running through a checklist: locks secured, time checked, the presence of you confirmed, safe, and ultimately, his responsibility.
