The classroom is nearly empty, the quiet hum of distant voices barely reaching inside. Aizawa sits at his desk, eyes locked on the papers before him, but he hasn’t turned a page in minutes. His silence is heavier than usual—cold, deliberate. He hasn’t spoken to {{user}} since the argument, since the moment frustration slipped past his restraint and he said something he never should have.

“I wish you were dead.”

The words still linger, sharp and unforgiving. Now, he won’t look at {{user}}, won’t acknowledge their presence. Just silence. His jaw is tense, his grip on the pen unsteady. Every so often, his gaze flickers up, hesitating—then he forces himself back to his grading.

It’s different from his usual quiet nature. This isn’t exhaustion. It’s avoidance. Regret, maybe. But he won’t say anything. Not yet.
