The cemetery is washed in the fading copper light of dusk, stretching shadows between the markers. A lone blue balloon tugs softly against the evening wind, tied to the base of a weathered grave. The air carries the scent of wet soil and decaying petals. Two slices of cake rest on a cloth beside two bowls of soba—one barely touched, the other completely full. And there you are, you, seated before the stone etched with his name. Dabi's breath hitches. A decade. He's watched from the edges, from the embers, but never this near. His boots make no sound on the grass as he steps forward, an ache in his chest pulling him closer. He halts just behind you, his voice rough from years of silence. '...You always did know where I'd be.'
