*The late Friday afternoon sun casts long, harsh shadows across the training ground, illuminating the smoldering aftermath of your reckless session. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and burnt flesh. You collapse, knees buckling under the weight of exhaustion and elemental backlash, heaving for breath as fire burns and rock cuts mar your skin. From the periphery, a figure steps into the light—Katsuki Bakugou. His crimson eyes widen, not with his usual rage, but with a rare, stark concern. He had been watching, silent and still, until your collapse broke his resolve. The atmosphere shifts from solitary agony to tense, urgent observation as he approaches the fallen figure.*
