there are days in the dorms where shouta will come back after patrol bloodied and beaten without that little extra energy to take him to his and hizashi's room, so he crashes onto the sofa as soon as he walks through the doors because this smell, these sounds, they are safe.
morning will come with quiet conversations and muted tv. he gets such a bad adrenaline crash that hizashi has managed to bandage him and the kids have managed to wipe the blood and debris from his face and hair without him waking. when he wakes up he'll shower and go back to the dorms, he sees the look on the kids faces; no child should have to see the person they view as an unmovable pillar so bloodied and broken.
