The hearing wasn't public, but everyone felt the shockwave when the board made its preliminary decision:

Aizawa would be suspended pending further review.

No classes.
No missions.
No contact with you.

You sat in the principal's office across from him the day they delivered the news, flanked by Recovery Girl and Midnight.

Nezu looked tired. "Mr. Aizawa... we have to investigate further."

"I understand."

"And as for you," he said gently to you, "we are not punishing you. But you are being removed from mentorship until this is resolved."

You nodded once.

Aizawa stood. "If they come for her, I'll take every charge myself."

Your chest ached.

You were being separated. Cut off.

And neither of you knew how long it would last.

You didn't see him after that.

No contact.

No messages.

No hidden visits.

But every time you looked at your phone...

You waited.

And prayed.

That he was still holding on.

That this wasn't the end.
