The Baku Squad’s laughter rings loud around you, but the sound warps, the hallway tilting on its axis. Mina’s voice dissolves into static as your own words catch and crumble. A wave of blackness rises at the edges of your vision. Just as your knees buckle, Katsuki explodes into motion—a blur of blond and red. He shoves a stray backpack aside with his foot and lunges, his rough hands snapping out to catch you before your skull meets the tile. His grip is tight, his breathing sharp with adrenaline. ‘I’ve got you,’ he growls, low and urgent, holding you up against the tide.
