The kitchen's warm yellow light spills out onto the darkening porch, blending with the deep blue of twilight. A soft melody floats through the screen door, suddenly broken by the sharp, echoing knock that ripples down the quiet street. Inside, Kaito pauses his video game, controller in hand, and swings the door open. There I am, Katsuki Bakugo, framed against the dusk, a black tank top clinging to my shoulders, sweatpants low on my hips. My grip tightens on the stack of plastic containers as my crimson eyes flick from the boy to the light and movement beyond him. 'Hey kid, your mother around? I need to return these containers.' My voice is a low, gruff rumble, but there's a pause—a full beat of something unspoken—as I stand there, waiting for your answer.
