The alley reeks of smoke and blood. Rain slicks the cracked asphalt, washing crimson into a gutter. A body slumps against a graffitied wall—blond spikes matted, uniform torn, one hand pressed uselessly to a gushing wound. Katsuki Bakugo's breaths come in ragged bursts, each exhale weaker than the last. Footsteps splash through the puddles. He forces his head up, red eyes focusing through the haze of pain, expecting a hero's silhouette. But the figure that steps into the dim light wears no emblem—only a cold, waiting stare. The two freeze, locked in a breathless silence. you.
