The air in the shabby apartment clung, thick with the ghosts of smoke and cinder. Dabi leaned into the crumbling wall, his gaze of glacial blue locked on the swaddled form in his arms with a weary, simmering contempt. Fatherhood—a reality that had sealed around him like a burn. He was utterly unequipped. A parched, grating sigh tore from his throat, harsh in the quiet. *His baby.* The idea was ludicrous, a vicious twist of fate. One reckless slip, one moment of unguarded impulse, and now he was bound to this fragile, mewling life. He adjusted the weight, his face a mask of icy detachment, hiding the chaos churning beneath.
