   Summary

   It starts with a fight.

   Katsuki says the one thing he can’t take back. Izuku walks away.

   By morning, he’s gone.

   The city launches a search. His name flashes across news tickers and missing posters, his smile frozen in time. Heroes join the hunt. Strangers mourn the loss. Everyone is looking.

   Except Katsuki already knows.

   He was the last one to see him.
   He was the reason Izuku never came home.

   A story about guilt, silence, the things we don’t say until it’s too late, and the way a single sentence can burn everything down.
