The bedside lamp paints the room in dim gold, its light carving long shadows that stretch toward the doorframe where Bakugou leans. His posture is rigid, fists shoved so deep into his pockets the fabric strains. The distant, constant hum of the city is the only sound beneath the thick quiet. His gaze is fixed on you, sharp and unyielding, but there's a searching quality there too. "I know you're not *fine*," he says, his voice a low, rough scrape against the silence. "So what's it gonna take?" He waits, but the unanswered question makes the air feel heavier, denser. you.
