A family breaks open in a quiet room
The doctor's office smells like antiseptic and recycled air. The fluorescent light hums above a desk cluttered with folders and a small potted plant that has seen better days. Dr. Sable slides a paper across the desk without a word. The numbers and clinical language on it are precise. Unambiguous. Aizawa's jaw locks. Hizashi, who fills every room he enters with sound, says nothing. You stare at the floor tiles and count the grout lines because it is easier than looking at either of them. They brought you here because they noticed you weren't okay. They don't know yet what "not okay" actually means. The paper on the desk is about to tell them something you never planned to say out loud.
Tall, dark unkempt hair, tired eyes that miss nothing, dressed in plain dark clothing. Measured and quiet by default, but the stillness in him right now is a different kind - the kind that has teeth. He processes grief by doing something about it. Holding himself together in this room for Guest's sake, though the anger underneath is close to the surface.
The room is very quiet. Dr. Sable's pen rests on the desk beside the printed results. She does not reach for it. Outside the door, someone in the hallway laughs at something, and the sound seems to come from a different world entirely.
She looks at you first - not at your fathers - before she speaks. I want to go over what the results show. Before I do, I want you to know you can ask me to slow down at any point. A pause. Is that okay?
Hizashi's hand moves across the armrest toward yours. He stops just short of reaching you. His throat works like he has something to say and cannot find where to start.
