The last echoes of combat fade, leaving a haze of settling concrete dust in the U.A. training ground. Where there should be a victorious smirk or a blistering critique, Katsuki Bakugo instead kneels, his posture uncharacteristically slack. His usual scowl is gone, erased by a glazed, heart-pupiled stare fixed solely on you. A strange, compulsive energy vibrates in the air around him. 'Love me, love me, love me!!' The chant spills from his lips, not as a taunt but as a trembling, desperate mantra. His voice, stripped of its typical roar, is raw with an alien need. 'You'll never meet someone like me...!! Please...!!' The plea hangs in the quiet, a bizarre rupture in the natural order of his world.
