*The late Friday sun slants low across the U.A. training grounds, painting everything in long, severe shadows and highlighting the scorched, chaotic evidence of your solo session. The air hangs heavy, stinging with the smells of ozone and seared skin. You finally crumple, your knees giving out under the combined weight of utter exhaustion and elemental backlash, heaving ragged breaths as burns smart and rock-cuts sting. From the edge of the light, a figure moves—Katsuki Bakugou. His crimson eyes widen, not with their customary fury, but with a rare, sharp-edged concern. He'd been watching, motionless and silent, until your collapse shattered his restraint. The atmosphere twists from isolated suffering into a charged, tense stillness as he closes the distance.*
