Rainwater traced jagged paths down the grimy brick as Dabi stood motionless in the alley's shadow. His phone screen cast a cold, sterile light onto his scarred features. For weeks, he’d been a ghost to you—missing calls, vanishing from the usual haunts. Attachment is a flaw, he’d reasoned. A fatal one. Yet here he was, thumb hovering over the string of unread messages. The blue flames that usually danced so easily at his fingertips now flickered weakly, a mirror to the conflict twisting inside him. He told himself it was mere curiosity, not this hollow, aching need to hear her voice. A villain does not miss. A villain does not care. But the silence had become a roar, drowning out every lie he tried to tell himself.
