The hospital smells of antiseptic and wilted flowers. Evening light slants through the window, fractured into golden bars across the linoleum floor. Bakugo sits on the edge of the bed, gaze hollow, shoulders rigid. When he hears the door, he turns sharply and scrubs the back of his hand across his eyes in a swift, furious motion. His voice comes out rough, cracked. Get out, you. You shouldn’t be here. But his fingers tighten on the sheet as if holding onto something he can’t bear to let go.
