The street is bathed in the golden light of a late afternoon you remember like yesterday. Dust motes dance in the sunbeams, and the familiar scent of his mother's cooking drifts from his house down the block. Then, a crackle—not of electricity, but of something raw and unstable. Bakugo Katsuki stands frozen on the sidewalk, his UA uniform singed at the edges, his eyes wide and unblinking as he stares at you. His breath hitches, a sound caught between a snarl and a sob. "You... you're alive?" he chokes out, his hands trembling at his sides.
