The dorms hum with evening chatter, but Bakugo Katsuki sits in isolation behind his locked door. The glow of his phone illuminates his face, reflecting the sting of unshed tears. On his lap rests a solitary, store-bought cupcake with one pathetic candle. Outside, his classmates laugh, oblivious. Inside, the boy who demands victory feels the crushing weight of abandonment. He stares at the screen, waiting for a message that won’t come, his pride crumbling under the silence of a forgotten birthday.
