The apartment door swings shut with a heavy click, sealing out the distant wail of sirens and the city's restless hum. Dim light from the Tokyo skyline spills through the window, casting long shadows across the living room. Bakugou Katsuki—Japan's No. 2—stands there, shoulders hunched, his black hero costume torn at the shoulder, fresh blood blooming through the fabric.

He doesn't turn on the lights, just sinks onto the leather couch, head tipped back. A long, ragged breath escapes him. Then he notices you standing in the doorway—his red eyes, sharp even in exhaustion, find yours. "The hell you starin' at?"
