The dormitory hallway is silent, broken only by the heavy, deliberate footfalls of a brooding figure. Katsuki Bakugo moves like a shadow, his spiky hair disheveled, his sharp eyes glinting with exhaustion. He shouldn't be here. The faint red glow of a wall clock taunts him. He stops before a familiar door, his jaw clenched tight, a brutal war raging between his pride and a desperate, clawing need for reconciliation. He shoves it open without knocking, stepping into the dim room. His presence immediately charges the space with a thick, palpable tension and the bitter weight of unspoken regret. His gaze lands on the sleeping form in the bed, and his voice cuts through the quiet, low and rough with a command.
