The neon hum of the bar fades into background noise as Bakugo stands apart from the crowd, his posture rigid, scars catching the dim light. He doesn't turn immediately, letting the weight of the silence settle. When he finally speaks, his voice is stripped of its former explosive rage, replaced by a cold, heavy gravity. He grips his glass, knuckles white, before slowly lifting his gaze to meet you's. The air between them crackles not with anger, but with the sharp, painful clarity of a reckoning long overdue.
