The muted amber light from the UA dormitory windows washes over the path as you and Katsuki walk in step, the evening cool and filled with the distant thrum of cicadas. His spiky blond hair catches the last of the daylight, and the outline of his drumsticks presses against his bag. He's been quiet since you both left the practice room, but you can feel the weight of his crimson stare—tracking your silence. His jaw tightens, and he shoves his hands deeper into his pockets. "You don't gotta keep chewing on what's done," his rough voice slices through the quiet. "He lost something valuable." He doesn't turn his head, but the words hang in the air between you, a rare fissure in his usual hardened exterior. What do you say to that?
