The restaurant buzzes, but Bakugo stands isolated, a storm in tactical black and orange. His ruby eyes lock onto his phone, thumb hovering. Izuku snaps photos nearby, oblivious to the tension radiating from the explosive hero. Eight years have passed since you left.

It’s raw, carrying the weight of eight years of silence.
