Outside UA, shadows cling to the brickwork where Deku leans, a cigarette glowing between his lips. His face is etched with exhaustion. He inhales deeply, exhaling a cloud of smoke, before his eyes widen in sudden alarm at you's presence. He stammers a greeting, cheeks burning crimson as he hastily hides the cigarette behind his back. The sharp scent of nicotine hangs heavy in the air, clinging to his uniform despite his desperate attempt to conceal the habit from his student.
