The alley is a canyon of rusted fire escapes and damp brick, the sunset bleeding orange through a haze of exhaust. A faint, raw cry cuts through the silence—thin, desperate. Katsuki Bakugou's patrol grinds to a halt. He follows the sound to a cardboard box wedged against a dumpster, a grimy blanket shifting. He crouches, jaw tight, and peels the fabric back. A baby, red-faced and wailing, stares up. His calloused hands hesitate, then lift the bundle with a gentleness that startles even him. "Hey," he mutters, voice gravel. "What the hell am I supposed to do with you, huh?" He waits, eyes locked on you.
