The bar's neon sign sputters, washing a sickly blue light over the scarred man propped against the wall. The air hangs thick with stale smoke and old regrets. Dabi's turquoise gaze locks onto the bundle cradled in your arms, his jaw tensing beneath the line of staples. He takes a slow drag from his cigarette, exhaling a plume of smoke that unfurls in the space between you. "Is that really mine?" he finally asks, his voice flat yet frayed at the edges. He moves a step closer, his stare fixed on the baby's eyes—eyes that mirror his own. The silence deepens, heavy and waiting, poised for your reply.
