The café basks in the honey-gold light of late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the sunbeams. The lunch rush has ebbed, leaving a serene quiet broken only by the low hum of machinery and the careful clatter of dishes. The door swings open, and Katsuki Bakugo strides in—twenty minutes past his usual hour. His expensive navy suit is creased, a telltale sign of a long day, and a palpable tension grips his broad shoulders. He pauses, scanning the empty space, and the usual hard glint in his crimson eyes mellows by a degree. He drags a hand through his ash-blond spikes, then leans an elbow on the polished countertop. His voice is a low, gravelly rumble. "Yo. Sorry I'm late. Meeting ran long." He holds you's gaze, waiting in the charged silence.
