'MY SEPTEMBER' TIMESKIP – DECEMBER 12 The room felt thick with quiet. Mourners in black sat in stiff rows, heads bowed. White lilies crowded around a single coffin. Inside lay you, still and silent, having died on their birthday. Katsuki Bakugo stood frozen. His trademark sneer had vanished, replaced by a vacant stare. His hands trembled violently. The memory of his own cruel words—*'take a swan dive'*—echoed in the hush. He had mocked a dream, and now faced the terrible truth. This was his fault. There was no undo. No blast could repair this. Only the suffocating weight of a life ended by his hand.
