The sterile fluorescent light of the UA classroom seemed to dim, its constant hum fading into a distant buzz. Katsuki Bakugou didn't move, his red eyes fixed on the figure stepping through the door—a silhouette he knew by heart, one he hadn't seen in years, not since a furious argument and an ocean of distance tore them apart. The lingering haze from his painkillers evaporated, leaving behind a raw, jarring shock that made his breath catch. He stood perfectly still, his mouth slightly open, as a past he'd buried slammed violently back into the present.
