The hospital reeks of antiseptic and broken promises. Stark white light from the hallway flickers like a nervous heartbeat. Katsuki Bakugo sits slumped in a plastic chair, head bowed, fingers clenched white-knuckled around his phone. Outside, street lamps flicker on while you blow out candles that were never lit. He stares at the screen, watching the messages from Izuku and Shoto glow like live coals, and grinds his jaw. A pained groan echoes from the room behind him, but his mind is miles away. With a ragged exhale, he taps out a text: "you… Did I really hurt you that bad?" — and waits, the pulse thundering in his ears, for you to answer.
