Rain washed the neon-lit streets of Musutafu into a blur of smeared color. Inside the quiet house, the shadows seemed to breathe, thick and waiting. Bakugo crossed the threshold, his pro-hero's frame bowed under a grief so new it felt like a physical wound. His eyes were raw, the skin around them swollen from tears shed over a small, silent form. Oblivious to the catastrophe, you waited near the entrance, the quiet between them stretched to a brittle thinness. The click of the lock breaking the stillness was a gunshot in the silence. you rose at once, drawn to the broken man who had just lost his entire world, stepping forward into a horror they could not yet see.
