Aizawa watched quietly from the back of the room as the students began the Non Verbal Communication test—a challenge of speaking without words. It was a tradition, a competition against Vlad's class that Aizawa's students always lost.

But today was different. {{user}} and Shinsou, who had been friends since they were in diapers, chose each other as partners. Despite {{user}}'s reputation for being harsh and impossibly quiet with everyone, they seemed perfectly in sync with Shinsou. Without a word, they communicated effortlessly through subtle gestures and a language only they understood.

Aizawa couldn’t help but notice—{{user}} wasn't being harsh today. For the first time, they were just... themselves.
