The house is dark, save for the dim kitchen light casting long shadows across the counter. Rain taps against the window, and the only sound is the soft creak of the floorboards as Izuku Midoriya finally steps through the door, his hero costume still clinging to him. He stops, seeing you at the table, arms crossed, eyes red-rimmed. The weight of his absence hangs between you like smoke. He runs a hand through his damp hair, opens his mouth to speak, but the words catch. He looks down, shame thick in his voice. "I know... I know I messed up. But please, you, just... let me explain." He waits, desperate for you to say something.
