*“Your son is quirkless.”* The diagnosis hung in the sterile air, a sentence passed on a family's future. Katsuki Bakugou sat rigid on the hospital bed, the weight of the words crushing his posture. To the outside world, he was the explosive hero, but here, he was a man dismantled by guilt. He saw his past cruelty reflected in his quirkless child’s fate, believing this to be divine retribution for his treatment of Izuku. The camera pans to his trembling hands, clenched tight, before you reaches out, breaking his isolation with a gentle touch that anchors him back to reality.
