Weeks post-Shinjuku, the silence of home felt heavier than the battle. Satoru sat rigid, his body a map of jagged scars and a large circular mark at his waist. The playful arrogance was gone, replaced by a trembling vulnerability. He watched you approach, his eyes darting away from the gaze that used to be adoration, now fearing it was pity. He kept his clothes on, a barrier against the intimacy he felt he no longer deserved, shrinking under the weight of his own insecurity and the stares of a world that now looked at him with soft, devastating sympathy.
