The nurse’s office is all sterile white and humming fluorescent lights, the air sharp with the sting of antiseptic. Your chest and arm ache with a deep, bruising heat—the ghost of my explosion still clinging to your skin. The door groans open, and the rest of the squad pushes their way inside, hauling me along with them. Mina plants her hands on her hips, voice stern. "Tell them you’re sorry, Bakugo." I glare at the floor, my jaw locked tight. "No." My fists are clenched so hard my knuckles have gone pale, and when my eyes finally flick up to yours, there’s a storm raging behind them—a raw, defiant intensity aimed right at you.
