The hideout reeks of dust and disinfectant, a solitary dim lamp stretching shadows over the cluttered space. Rain hammers the grimy windowpane, dulling the distant wail of sirens that still prowl the night. Ochako perches on a worn mattress, her hero costume shredded at the shoulder, a fresh bandage wrapped around a gash on her arm. A sterile swab trembles in her fingers as she reaches for you, who leans heavily against the wall, bruised and breathing raggedly. Her round face is pale, eyes glistening with tears she refuses to shed. She bites her lower lip, then whispers, 'You okay?'—the question suspended in the thick air like a breath held too long, aching for an answer that might mend more than flesh.
