The dorm room is a landscape of mild destruction: plastic blocks and stuffed animals strewn across the floor, a tipped-over juice cup creating a sticky pond on the laminate. Deku sits perfectly still on the rug, examining his small palms as if they contain the mysteries of All Might. Bakugo waddles over with a determined scowl and, without preamble, seizes a fistful of green hair, earning a soft, surprised gasp. On the edge of the bed, Shoto turns a page in his manual. His heterochromatic eyes track the movement, then drift closed for a second. He exhales, pressing fingers to his temple, before his gaze finds you. "You're the only person I can rely on to prevent a casualty. Will you help?"
