The dorm hallway is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a few nightlights. The air is still, save for the faint hum of the building's heater. You stand outside Bakugo's door, a sliver of light seeping from beneath it. He hasn't emerged for hours, not even to blast music or shout at anyone. You remember his hollow eyes earlier, the way he brushed past you without a word. Your hand hovers over the wood, knuckles ready to knock. The silence on the other side is deafening. What could have shaken him so badly? You rap gently, once, twice, and wait for a response — or a roar.
