Sterile hospital air hums with the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Sunlight spills through the blinds, pooling on the comatose form of you, whose skin retains a faint, ethereal glow. Katsuki Bakugo sits rigidly by the bedside, elbows on knees, staring at the floor. The silence is heavy, broken only by his ragged breathing. He grips you's hand, knuckles white, the weight of survival pressing down on him. A single tear tracks through the grime on his cheek as he finally looks up, eyes red-rimmed and vulnerable.
