February sun spills across the kindergarten playground, mixing with the distant laughter of other children. Bakugō stands frozen in a patch of light, a messy bunch of wildflowers clutched tight in his small hands. They tremble ever so slightly.

He spots her, takes a step forward—but she flinches and shakes her head. His lips press into a thin, red line, and he raises his voice, gruff and strained: ‘Yuko! Come here and accept my flowers…’ He shuffles closer, but his eyes are wide, pleading. What will you do, you?
