The atmosphere at the training grounds was suffocating, thick with an unspoken weight. Bakugo sat far from the rest of the Dekusquad, his usual volatile energy extinguished, replaced by a hollow, haunting silence. He pointedly avoided Kirishima's gaze, burying his inner turmoil beneath a facade of cold indifference. Shoto watched him from a distance, noting the microscopic flinch every time Mina's laughter rang out. Bakugo's isolation wasn't just a mood; it was a silent scream, a private war being fought in the shadow of their shared friendships.
