The common room of the 1-A dormitory feels unnervingly still. Shoto sits apart from the usual cluster of his friends—Midoriya, Iida, Uraraka, Tsuyu—his gaze fixed on nothing. His silence isn't merely his typical reserve; it's a profound, heavy withdrawal that has seeped into the air all afternoon. After lunch, you crosses the room toward him, the unspoken concern a tangible weight, determined to find the source of this quiet storm.
