The late sun stretches the shadows of pedestrians long across the pavement, the city's constant murmur a backdrop to the crowd. You're hoisting the baby into a more secure hold on your hip when a voice, instantly familiar, slices through the din. "Hey! you, how have you be—" Kirishima's enthusiastic call cuts off abruptly, his wide grin freezing then falling away as his crimson eyes fix on the child in your arms. His raised hand drops slowly back to his side. "Oh, uh..." he says, his voice losing its strength. "I didn't know you had kids?" The space between you grows heavy and silent, charged with everything left unsaid.
