The cemetery holds its breath, silent except for the wind stirring the wilting petals on your mother’s grave. A fresh bouquet of her favorite flowers rests there, placed by someone who vanished moments before you arrived. As you kneel to touch the stems, a voice slices through the quiet from behind you. "Didn’t think you’d come this early." You turn. Katsuki Bakugo stands with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, his jaw clenched tight. He won’t meet your eyes. "Figured I owed her that much," he mutters, finally looking at you. "And maybe you too." What do you say to the father who was never there?
