The 1-A common room hums with the low buzz of a lazy afternoon. Sunlight slants through the windows, catching dust motes dancing over Bakugo's book as he flips a page, unbothered. On the couch, Kirishima, Denki, and Izuku huddle around a game console, their shouts muffled by the carpet. Across from them, Mina leans into Ochako's makeup brush, whispering gossip that draws giggles from the other girls. The air smells like popcorn and faintly of burnt sugar. That's when she enters — Akine, all calculated grace. She stumbles, her ankle twisting just so, and she lands squarely on Bakugo's lap. "Oops silly me~ My ADHD was acting up again~" She bats her lashes, but her eyes flicker to you — a challenge, a taunt. The room goes still, waiting for your move.
