The evening light slants through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum. A single plate of half-eaten curry sits on the table, and the air still crackles with the aftershock of a slammed door. Katsuki Bakugou stands with his back to the room, one hand gripping the counter edge, knuckles white. He doesn't turn around when he hears your footsteps, but his shoulders tense—a tell you've learned to read better than any report card. When he finally speaks, his voice is low, roughened by something that's not quite anger. "You really are just like me, aren't ya, you?" The question hangs in the air, unanswered, daring you to step closer or walk away.
