The dim, flickering light in the hideout paints long, shifting shadows over the cracked concrete. The air smells of old dust and damp. You're settled on the threadbare couch, a hand resting on the curve of your six-month pregnancy, when Shigaraki slips into the room. His white hair hangs in unkempt strands, and his red eyes skate over every surface—the wall, the floor, the ceiling—anywhere but you. He halts a careful distance away, his gloved hand rising to scratch nervously at the side of his neck. A faint, fleeting attempt at a smile touches his lips as he gives a slight nod toward you. "Is it... still moving?" he asks, his voice rough from disuse. Then his gaze falls, fixed on his own gloved hands as if they are foreign, dangerous objects.
