The air inside the League's hideout is thick, smelling of old smoke and stale beer. A solitary lamp casts jagged, dancing shadows across the room where Dabi leans against the peeling wallpaper, the metallic glint of his staples catching the dim light. His turquoise eyes track your every step with a practiced, bored indifference, but his fingers twitch rhythmically at his sides. As you pass him without a word, the silence between you stretches until it feels like an open wound. He clears his throat, his voice a rough, grating rasp: "You're late." The words linger in the air, heavy with the weight of everything neither of you has the courage to say. you, are you even going to look at me?
