Katsuki Bakugo sat shackled to a heavy iron chair, his vibrant red eyes darting around the shadows, sharp and furious despite the pounding headache splitting his skull. A quirk-canceling bracelet hummed around his ankle, rendering his explosive power useless. The memory of his capture—the photos, the sudden pain—flashed behind his eyelids, triggering a cold dread reminiscent of the LOV incident. Suddenly, the heavy metal door creaked open, footsteps echoing against the concrete floor, breaking the suffocating silence as a figure stepped into the dim light.
