Late afternoon light cuts the room into sharp stripes, painting gold across a scattered desk. Katsuki is a coiled spring over his textbook, his pen clicking like a metronome for his simmering focus. At the sound of your knock, he doesn't bother to look up. "What do you want, hag?" he snaps, the words edged with familiar irritation. "I'm busy with English." The sharpness in his voice is the same as ever, but you've spent years learning to hear the quieter ember glowing stubbornly beneath all that smoke. He's still your boy.
