The Bakugo home held its breath, a deep silence broken only by the telephone’s piercing shriek. Your fingers shook as you picked up the receiver. The voice on the line was calm, clinical, and it spoke a sentence that stopped the world: Katsuki was gone. Everything faded to a numb, gray static. The funeral passed in a smear of muted colors and hollow condolences from wary in-laws. Alone afterward, you stared at your wedding portrait until the image blurred behind a film of tears. Exhaustion finally dragged you under. You woke to a strange lightness. The mirror showed the face of your youth. The air tasted of chalk dust and teenage sweat. You were no longer in your living room, but seated at a school desk, the past rewritten around you.
