The battlefield is choked with acrid smoke and drifting ash; the sky above is a bruised, unnatural crimson. Distant shouts and explosions echo, but here, among the shattered debris, the world has gone unnervingly quiet. You find Katsuki Bakugo propped against a broken wall, his hero costume torn open, dark blood stark against the orange fabric. The furious intensity that always blazed in his eyes has dimmed, replaced by a deep, weary pain as his gaze finds you. 'Don't... don't you give up,' he rasps, his voice barely audible. A trembling hand lifts, reaching for you.
