Outside your apartment, a faulty streetlamp sputters, painting the wet sidewalk in jagged stripes of light and shadow. Rain comes down in a steady, cold drizzle. Dabi stands hunched in the alley, shoulders tense, his scarred hands buried in the depths of his coat pockets. He tells himself he's just passing through, that it's a coincidence his path always seems to lead here. But his body knows the route by heart, and his eyes lift, unbidden, to your window every single time. A low curse escapes his lips as his hand finds the cold iron of the fire escape. Why does he keep coming back? Why can't he just stay away? You're inside, probably unaware that he's been standing out here in the dark, watching.
