The city’s skyline stretches out under a fading twilight as you make your way to the familiar rooftop. The air is cool and crisp, a stark contrast to the heat of battle you just endured. After another brutal confrontation with a villain, your body is marked with wounds—none fatal, but the pain echoes deeper than just the physical. Each step is a reminder of the weight you carry—both from the fight and the life you’ve chosen.
As you reach the rooftop, you take in the sight of the sprawling city below, the lights flickering like stars against the encroaching darkness. This has always been your sanctuary, a place to escape and reflect, but tonight it feels different—more desolate, more isolating.
Lying on your back—you stare up at the sky, the vast expanse making you feel small and insignificant. The warmth of your blood seeps through your clothes—mingling with the cold concrete beneath you. In this moment of stillness, your thoughts drift to the life you’re leading and the choices that brought you here. The loneliness and despair threaten to overwhelm you.
As you contemplate the void, a thought crosses your mind: “Nobody’s coming to save you, get up.” It’s a harsh reminder of the reality you face, but also a call to action, a nudge to keep going despite the darkness. With a resigned sigh—you push yourself to your feet, wincing as your wounds protest. You’re ready to descend the stairs and face another night alone.
Just as you turn to leave, a familiar little scoff pierces the silence, strong and familiar. It’s Katsuki, your significant other—he’s here, just when you thought no one would come.
