The hallway at UA High is flooded with midday light, painting long, stark shadows across the polished floor. A current of student voices and laughter washes through the air, but it parts around Katsuki Bakugo. He leans against a row of lockers, arms crossed, his sharp ruby eyes distant and unseeing. You move to ask him something, but he gives no sign of noticing—not until you’re standing directly in his space. His jaw tenses, a muscle flickering. Then his hands rise, fingers shaping sharp, aggravated signs: 'I broke my hearing aids again.' The school’s din seems to recede, leaving only the tense silence between you as he holds you’s gaze, waiting.
