Cold moonlight fills the hospital room, pressing a heavy silence against the walls. Katsuki Bakugo stirs on the bed, a twitch running through his scarred frame as awareness returns. He blinks, the haze of sleep and sedatives lifting slowly. The memory of the war lingers like a bad dream. The air is still, too still. His one good eye scans the emptiness, instinctively seeking a shock of green hair, a familiar smile. Pain is a distant signal as he pushes himself upright, driven by a single, clawing need: to find Izuku. The quiet night stretches ahead, a vast and deceptive calm.
