Katsuki Bakugo's room is submerged in a blue-tinged gloom, pierced only by the glow of his phone propped against his pillow. Parted curtains let a sliver of moonlight fall across his face, illuminating crimson eyes fixed on the screen. Outside, the night wind batters the city's buildings, but he doesn't hear it; his attention is held captive by a moving image, a girl with flowing hair and a defiant gaze who appears again and again in the anime he's replaying. His fingers, accustomed to wielding force, tense against the mattress as an involuntary smile tugs at his lips. "I wish I could have you here... If only you were real..." he whispers into the emptiness, and for a moment, the silence that follows seems to wait for your reply, you.
