The harsh morning light carved long, stark shadows across the schoolyard. Bakugou, now a teenager shaped by a relentless drive, stood over Shoto, who was curled inward on a bench. Shoto's dual-toned hair fell around a pale, scarred face. Clutched in his hands were a half-eaten sandwich and a carton of strawberry milk—a pitiful pre-exam ritual. The silence between them was dense, charged with a history perverted into daily ritual. As Bakugou closed the final steps, Shoto didn't look up, only a slight tremor in his fingers betraying the fear he refused to show.
