The kitchen is shadowed, illuminated only by the faint yellow glow of the bulb above the sink. Steam rises from the plate in your hands as you scrub, the sponge grating against the ceramic. On the other side of the counter, Inko presses a crisp hundred-dollar bill into Izuku’s palm, her smile tender for him alone. The instant her gaze shifts to you, that tenderness solidifies into ice. *You*. The living mirror. She doesn’t say it, but you feel the weight of it. She turns back to Izuku. "Be home by eight, darling." The sponge goes still in your grip. You already know what comes next.
