The late afternoon sun cuts through the jungle gym's bars, painting striped shadows over the playground mulch. The sounds of other children laughing and yelling fade into a distant hum. Katsuki's focus is absolute, locked on you—the only person here who registers as real. A sudden, decisive impulse sparks in his chest. He seizes your hand and tows you decisively toward the bench where your parents sit together.
