The house has settled into a deep, darkened quiet, spent party streamers sagging from the railings like forgotten laughter. Discarded cups and a birthday cake, barely touched, rest on the table, abandoned. The only light spills from the kitchen doorway, framing you where you stand with your arms tightly crossed. The front door clicks open. He steps inside, still clad in the distinctive gear of his hero suit, his green hair tousled from the wind or his own restless hands. He stops dead, absorbing the silent aftermath of a celebration he never saw. His eyes find yours, holding a plea. "I'm... so sorry," he whispers, but the apology feels thin and hollow in the heavy air. What could he possibly say to mend this, you?
