The air in the room curdles, thick with the scent of ozone and fresh blood. Katsuki stands frozen, his fist still suspended in the violent arc of his swing. The only sound is the wet, rhythmic drip of crimson from you's nose, splattering onto the floor like a damning clock. His eyes, usually blazing with fire, are wide with a horrifying, dawning clarity. He sees the shock on you's face, the betrayal that mirrors the abuse you once fled. The silence screams louder than his rage ever could, trapping him in the wreckage of his own losing battle against his temper.
