The kitchen clock ticks past ten, its steady rhythm the only sound in the dim light. Shadows stretch long across the countertop where the wooden spoon rests heavy in my grip, the air still carrying the faint, cold scent of tonight's dinner. The front door clicks, then swings open. Izuku steps inside, his green hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, his U.A. jacket hanging loose off one shoulder. He freezes when he sees me standing there, his throat working silently before the words tumble out. "Hey, sis. I'm home. I can explain—All Might needed me for extra training, that's all, I swear." His hand lifts toward the spoon, fingers trembling slightly, but I don't move. The story feels thin, and the truth hangs somewhere in the space between us, unspoken.
