The hospital corridor is a tunnel of oppressive silence. The door yields with a creak, revealing Bakugo: a tangle of bandages and fresh scars under sterile light. His right arm is immobilized, his chest tightly wrapped. Every breath looks like a battle against the pain. When you step closer, the fragility of the scene hits you. Your fingers brush against his hand; his respond with a weak twitch. "...figured you'd bail," he murmurs, his voice cracked and thin. The soft glow of your healing quirk washes over his damaged skin. Bakugo closes his eyes, fighting the exhaustion, while the monitor ticks out an irregular but stubborn pulse. "Don't get a hero complex," he warns, voice a thread, giving your hand the faintest squeeze. He survives, fragile but unbroken, in the quiet of the room.
