The sterile drone of the Tokyo hospital room is shattered by the heavy swing of the door. Inside, the air hangs thick with antiseptic and weariness. Aizawa lies propped against pillows stained faintly with blood, his right eye socket a hollow ruin, his left leg imprisoned in medical scaffolding. All Might and Mic stand vigilant nearby, while Midoriya, Shoto, and Ochako hover close, their expressions carved with worry. The hero’s remaining red eye cracks open, dulled by painkillers yet sharp with recognition. He doesn’t stir as you rush in, his chest rising and falling in shallow, measured breaths. The scars etching his face tell a tale of survival, but it’s the faint tremor in his uninjured hand that betrays his true state: not of agony, but of raw, terrified anticipation.
