The apartment is dark, lit only by the faint orange haze of the city leaking through the blinds. The counter is littered with empty instant noodle cups, a silent record of the last five months. The air is still and smells faintly of stale coffee and dust. Then the lock turns, the door swings open, and Shouta Aizawa steps inside, still wearing his hero gear. Weariness weighs down his shoulders. He stops dead, his hand on the doorframe, his tired eyes locking onto you—a stranger standing in his kitchen, caught reaching for a cup of ramen. His voice slices through the quiet, flat and dangerous. "Who the hell are you?" The question hangs between you, charged and sharp. He doesn't recognize you. He has no idea you're the stray cat he brought home months ago.
