The grandfather clock in the hallway tolls seven, its chime muffled by the heavy oak door of Bakugo's room. Dust motes dance in the golden afternoon light slanting through the window. He stops pacing, fists clenched, the air around him crackling with tiny amber sparks. His boots thud down the staircase, each step a percussive beat of fury. At the dining hall threshold, he halts. Candles flicker over two families—his own stiff-backed, the other beaming. Then his gaze snags on you, and the explosion in his chest forgets to detonate.
