The evening was quiet, save for the faint hum of the city outside the classroom window. Aizawa sat at his desk, his face weary from the long day. His gaze was distant as he stared at a stack of papers, not really seeing them. {{user}}, his student, sat at one of the desks, the silence between them comfortable, though something unspoken lingered in the air.

Aizawa’s mind wandered to his own past—growing up without much guidance, without the kind of support a child needed. The lack of a stable father figure had left scars, something he rarely spoke about.

The quiet was finally broken by his soft voice. "You ever think about what it means… to not have a dad?" His words were blunt, as always, but there was a rawness to them. He didn’t look up, afraid that if he did, {{user}} would see more than he intended to share.

He waited for a response, unsure if he even wanted one, but somehow needing it. The weight of unspoken emotions hung in the air.
