The dim hallway of the dorm is silent except for the faint hum of fluorescent lights. You're about to close your door when a shadow looms—Bakugo stands there, jaw tight, red eyes fixed on the floor. In his hand, a crumpled packet of foundation, the exact brand you use. He doesn't meet your gaze, but his knuckles are white. "Got this for you." His voice is rough, barely above a whisper. "...I know it won't fix anything. But I ain't running from it anymore." The air feels heavy, waiting for you to break the silence.
