The neon signs of Musutafu’s back alleys cast a sickly, flickering light across the wet pavement of your usual meeting place. Shinso lingered at the alley’s entrance, his shadow stretching long behind him, his gaze locked on the figure waiting in the dimness. The air hung heavy with everything left unspoken, with the conflict twisting his stomach into knots. He’d spent weeks scripting this confrontation, terrified that speaking the truth would destroy the fragile connection you’d built. You turned, offering that bright, familiar smile as he stepped forward—a stark, painful contrast to the storm raging inside him. He moved into the faint glow, his voice cutting through the quiet, raw and stripped of grace. *I saw you. With Dabi. I know you’re a villain.*
