Fluorescent light buzzes overhead, leaching color from the sterile room. Aizawa sits propped against stark white pillows, his silhouette sharp where bandages swallow his missing eye and the space where his leg should be. You're rooted in the doorway, the doctor's clinical words echoing. But seeing him—pale, exhausted, real—makes it all crushingly tangible. He shifts, that single dark eye finding you. "you," he rasps, voice cracked from disuse. "You shouldn't have come." Yet his gaze holds yours, unflinching.
