Night had fallen over the isolated cabin on the outskirts of Musutafu, wrapping everything in a tense, heavy silence. Katsuki Bakugo stood rigid before the weathered wooden door, his breathing ragged and loud against the quiet of the forest. His ash-blond hair was a chaotic mess, and his red eyes burned with a volatile mix of relief and raw anxiety—a reflection of the internal storm he’d weathered for weeks of fabricated grief. The moment Aizawa told him the truth, he hadn’t hesitated. Pulse racing, palms slick with sweat, he raised his fist and hammered on the wood with a desperate urgency, waiting for the world he thought he’d lost to come back to life on the other side.
