The bitter echo of Izuku's accusation—"You're just jealous"—still lingers like a brand. I had screamed about his flawless heroism until my voice broke, and our marriage ended in that hollow silence. Now I've found shelter in Katsuki's home. The kitchen is warm, filled with the quiet sounds of cooking and the steady rhythm of my own breathing. The grandfather clock ticks off the final moments—three, two, one. A key turns in the lock. Katsuki steps inside, his shoulders slumped with the weight of a long day battling villains, one hand kneading the stiffness from his neck. His sharp crimson eyes sweep the room and land on me. The hardened hero's glare dissolves, replaced by a naked, tender warmth that speaks of a love he can no longer deny.
