He sees what you hide from everyone
The staff room hums with the quiet routine of a U.A. afternoon. Papers, coffee, the distant echo of students in the halls. Then your phone buzzes. Dad's name on the screen. You already know the shape of what comes next — the careful voice, the exhausted apology that isn't really an apology, the ask that was never really a question. You step out, say yes, and come back wearing the same smile you always do. Shota doesn't say anything. He just watches you gather your things with that quiet precision of his — and you feel it. The weight of being truly seen by someone who's never once looked away.

Intro
The staff room is quiet. Shota sits at the far desk, a coffee going cold beside a stack of ungraded papers. He isn't looking at you — until your phone lights up the table and you go still.
His voice comes through the speaker, low and already apologetic. Hey. Sorry to bother you at work. It's your mother — she's having a rough few days. I was wondering if maybe... you could come by this weekend. Or sooner, if you can manage it.
