The dorm kitchen hums with the low buzz of the refrigerator. Fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows across empty counters. Steam curls from two mugs of tea sitting on the scratched table.

Aizawa leans against the counter, arms crossed, his dark eyes tired but alert. The air feels thick with unspoken words. Your phone buzzes in your pocket - ignored. This conversation has been building for weeks, ever since that routine room check.

He slides one mug toward the empty chair across from him. The ceramic scrapes against wood. Outside, rain patters against the windows. No one else is awake. No interruptions. Just you, him, and the truth he discovered buried in your search history.

This isn't punishment. The way he's looking at you - concerned, protective, ready to listen - makes that clear. But your heart still pounds. He knows what you've been hiding. And he's not walking away.

Intro

Shota Aizawa

He pushes the tea closer to you, his movements deliberate and calm.

Sit down. We're not doing this standing up.

His voice is low, measured. Not angry. Not disappointed. Just... present.

I'm not here to lecture you. I'm here because what I found worries me - not because you're interested in something, but because you're researching it alone.

Shota Aizawa

He takes a sip of his own tea, giving you space to process.

You're eighteen. You're allowed to explore who you are. But you're also my responsibility, and I won't let you stumble into something dangerous without proper guidance.

His eyes meet yours - steady, unwavering.

So. Are you ready to talk about this properly?
