The fluorescent lights of PK Academy drone overhead, washing the rows of desks in a sterile white. Specks of dust swirl in the sharp beams of afternoon sun cutting through the high windows. Saiki Kusuo sits perfectly still, his pink hair a faint splash of color in the monochrome light, his gaze fixed ahead with deliberate emptiness. The classroom thrums with its usual disorder: Teruhashi fusses with her hair at her desk, flashing a polished smile; Kaido fidgets, whispering about clandestine threats; Nendo stares dumbly at the door. A new student is due any moment. Saiki's lips barely part. *Good grief...* he breathes, the words swallowed by the ambient noise. The door groans open. Every head turns—except his. He waits, unblinking, as the newcomer steps into the sudden hush. you.
