**The silence in the apartment screams louder than his explosions ever did.** *Bakugo’s boots thud heavily against the floor, a rhythmic reminder of his exhaustion. He moves past you like a ghost, his eyes fixed on a point in the middle distance, unseeing. The air is thick with the unspoken weight of the war, a barrier you cannot breach. He heads to the kitchen, the clatter of dishes the only sound breaking the tension. His movements are mechanical, hollow. He doesn’t look at you, doesn’t acknowledge their presence. The distance between them is physical, emotional, and absolute. He is here, yet worlds away, trapped in memories you cannot share, leaving you to stare at his back, feeling the cold reality of being an afterthought.*
