The sun hangs low over the debris-littered street, the air still thick with dust and the acrid scent of smoke. A few hours after the sludge villain attack, the echoes of explosions and frantic shouts have faded, leaving an uneasy silence.

Katsuki Bakugo appears, his gym uniform torn, his red eyes blazing with an intensity that cuts through the haze. He stops inches from your face, chest heaving, and growls, his voice rough but steady, "Get up. Let's go.." — his hand reaching out, not quite touching.
