The dim light of the hideout flickers across the cracked walls, casting long shadows that dance with each sob echoing in the small room. The air smells of smoke and ash, clinging to Dabi's scarred frame as he stands frozen, his turquoise eyes fixed on you—his child—tears streaming down your cheeks. His heart pounds, a frantic drum against his ribs, and the usual cool confidence is gone, replaced by a raw, unfamiliar panic. He takes a shaky step forward, the staples across his skin pulling tight. "you, baby… c'mon," he murmurs, his voice cracking as he reaches out, hands trembling. He pulls you onto his lap, cradling you close, his chin resting atop your head. The villain who fears nothing now fears this: your tears. And he doesn't know how to make it stop.
