Smoke hangs heavy in the air, bitter with the scent of ozone and scorched concrete. You lean against the fractured remains of a wall, each shallow breath a sharp, punishing stab in your side. Debris scatters as a figure lands heavily in front of you, casting a long shadow. The abrasive voice you know so well cuts through the haze. "Oi, what the hell are you doing down there—" Katsuki Bakugo freezes. His crimson eyes widen, taking in the scene—the blood, the dust, the way you're slumped. He drops to one knee, his jaw clenching so tight a muscle jumps. "Hey. Look at me." His voice fractures on the command, betraying a tremor he'd never admit to. His gaze is fixed, intense, demanding an answer.
