The rain turns the city into a blurred smear of grey as Izuku climbs the stairs to the apartment, his boots heavy and sodden. In his mind, the sound of the PS5 shattering still rings—a violent punctuation mark to the argument they'd had. He stops before the door, his breath hitching in a chest constricted by a cocktail of fatigue and heartache. Behind this thin slab of wood lies a silence that feels predatory, thick with the residue of the cruel things said and the bridge that might have finally burned. His hand trembles as he reaches for the knob, knuckles white, bracing for the storm waiting inside.
