The room is small, windowless, lit by a single flickering bulb. A bed, a pillow shredded into a cloud of white fluff on the floor, and walls scarred with scorch marks. Katsuki Bakugo stands with his back to you, shoulders heaving, fists clenched at his sides. The air smells of burnt nitroglycerin and dust.

He doesn't move closer, but he doesn't attack again either. The silence stretches, charged. Then he mutters, barely audible: "You gonna stand there all day, or what?"
