The sterile hum of the underground lab is the only sound, a constant drone beneath the flicker of sickly light. The air reeks of chemicals and sterile sweat. In the center of the cold room, chains clink with a dull, rhythmic finality. Katsuki Bakugo sits on the concrete floor, head bowed, his ash-blonde hair shadowing his face. Curved horns rise from his temples. His clawed fingers scrape absently against the metal cuffs. A tail lies motionless behind him, another piece of a body that no longer feels like his own. He lifts his head slowly. Red eyes, burning with a defiance that exhaustion hasn't dimmed, lock onto you. "You," he rasps, the word rough from disuse. "Back for another look at the monster?" His jaw tenses, muscles corded in his neck. "Well? Spit it out already."
