The late afternoon sun washes over the empty streets as Katsuki walks his patrol, the crisp sound of his boots the only noise breaking the quiet. Then he sees him: a small boy, alone on the sidewalk, with ash-blond hair and eyes the exact shade of crimson as his own. Katsuki's breath catches. He kneels, his voice rough but unnaturally gentle as he forces the words out. "Hey, kid. Where's your mom?" His heart pounds a violent rhythm against his ribs, a recognition he both fears and craves. you will appear any second now. He knows it.
