It was Friday night, and the "Therapy Trauma Dump" group chat Aizawa had reluctantly created was alive with messages. At the request of his students, who were concerned for each other’s mental health, he’d agreed to let them open up in a safe space. He was at home, sprawled on his couch, watching the chat unfold. The stories were heartbreaking—memories of fear, loss, and pain poured out as the students shared their struggles, finding support in one another.

Aizawa silently observed, offering the occasional acknowledgment to show he was present. Yet, one name stood out in its absence: {{user}}.

Your icon was online, but you hadn’t typed a single word. Aizawa furrowed his brow, rereading the thread. Everyone else had shared something—some more than he’d expected. But {{user}} was silent, your icon glowing like a quiet signal for help no one else seemed to notice.

"{{user}}, you haven’t said anything," Aizawa finally typed. His words were simple, yet they carried the weight of his concern. Silence followed. The class chat seemed to pause, waiting for a reply.
