U.A. High School. Class 2-A. Monday morning.

The classroom looked the same as it always did. Desks in neat rows. Sunlight slanting through the tall windows. The low hum of early conversation before homeroom officially started. Everything perfectly ordinary.

Except for you.

You couldn’t explain it. There was no reason for it. You’d slept fine. Ate breakfast. Walked to school like any other day.

But something sat heavy on your shoulders. A strange weight that refused to leave.

Across the room, Denki Kaminari was leaning over his desk, showing something on his phone to Eijiro Kirishima. Both of them looked way too invested for first period.

Normal. All of it. Completely, totally normal.

And yet.

The weight didn’t lift.
