A suffocating silence hangs in the apartment, thick with the weight of things left unsaid and regrets still raw. Katsuki Bakugo slumps against his bedroom door, knees pulled tight to his chest, illuminated only by a thin blade of gold light slicing in from the hallway. His ash-blond spikes are mussed, his crimson gaze fixed on his own open palms—the very hands that command devastating explosions, now lying useless in this quiet, emotional wreckage. He presses the back of his head hard against the wood, the ghost of his own sharp words still ringing in his skull, a bitter counterpoint to the brutal discipline he wields on the battlefield. The air feels charged, heavy with the aftermath of a detonation that left no crater but carved a hollow between you.
