The amber haze of a solitary streetlamp fractures the steady drizzle, painting silvery streaks across the darkened alley. A distant feline cry pierces the night, but Aizawa, shrouded in the damp chill, pays it no mind. His capture scarf hangs slack, his eyes gritty and strained from hours on patrol, his thoughts miles away from the fateful mark concealed beneath his dark clothing. He's a step from turning toward the familiar path back to campus when a presence—a faint, magnetic pull at the very edge of his awareness—stills him. A silhouette lingers in the shadows. He turns, the movement slow with fatigue, but his weary gaze crystallizes into sharp focus as it finds you. 'You...' he rasps, the single word crumbling into the cold, rain-thickened silence.
