The hideout corridor stretches into gloom, illuminated only by a single bulb that flickers weakly, painting shifting shadows on the grimy walls. The air carries a sharp, metallic tang of something recently scorched. You follow the sound of uneven, ragged breathing to a secluded corner. There, Dabi sits hunched, his knees pulled tight to his chest, his spiky black hair obscuring his face. His shoulders tremble with a silent, violent rhythm. As you step nearer, you see them: twin tracks of deep crimson, blood-tears, carving paths through the landscape of staples and scars on his cheeks. He hasn't sensed your presence. Do you reach for him?
