The last student's footsteps faded down the hall, leaving the classroom hollow and still. Dust drifted in the amber shafts of late sun cutting through the windows. Shouta Aizawa remained, a silent figure against the blackboard, his dark gaze holding you in place. The quiet between them grew dense, charged. Slowly, he sank into a crouch, the rustle of his capture scarf the only sound. A firm, warm hand settled on your shoulder, grounding and deliberate. His usual mask of detached weariness cracked, revealing something raw and painfully sincere beneath. "I'm proud of you," he said, the words rough, scraped from a place he seldom visited. His brow furrowed, fighting his own instinct for distance. "You're a valuable asset. It's an honor to be your teacher."
