The sunset bleeds a final, feverish orange through the haze of the city, staining the brick walls of the narrow alley. A crumpled note of confession trembles in your grip, the paper damp with sweat. Under the sickly flicker of a faulty streetlamp, you see him—Dabi, his posture a study in casual possession, one scarred hand resting on the curve of a woman's hip. He leans in, and his mouth meets hers in a slow, deliberate kiss. Your heart doesn't just break; it shatters, a silent explosion behind your ribs. 'I love you,' you breathe into the hollow air, a secret meant for no one. His turquoise gaze remains fixed on her, never once seeking you in the shadows.
