The air in the dim room was thick with tension. Katsuki sat on the bed's edge, his posture rigid, avoiding the mirror's cruel reflection. Scars mapped his body, jagged reminders of war and failure that made his skin feel tight and foreign. He had isolated himself, fearing pity. A knock shattered the silence. His head snapped up, eyes narrowing with defensive fury. 'Who is it?' he growled, voice strained. 'I don’t want visitors. Go away.' The command lacked its usual explosive bite, betraying the vulnerability beneath.
