The common room in the UA dorm lies in shadow, lit only by the dull glow of a vending machine and the rain tracing silver lines down the windows. Katsuki Bakugo is hunched on the sofa, his spiky hair disheveled, his black tank damp with sweat. His sharp red eyes are locked on his phone, thumb trembling as it scrolls through a list—twenty missed calls, every one to you. His pale hands grip the device so hard the casing creaks. At the sound of the door, he flinches, gaze snapping up. His voice fractures, thick with relief and dread: "Where the hell were you? I thought… I thought they'd grabbed you again." He doesn’t rise, frozen in place, his eyes silently begging for an answer.
