    Summary

    Thirteen. Thats how old Katsuki is when he realizes no one is coming to save him. Not from the bruises. Not from the fights. Not from the reeking silence of a home that only knows how to hurt.

    In a world where quirks define worth and heroes are untouchable idols, Katsuki Bakugou is just another broken kid with a dangerous power and nowhere to put it-until an underground fight club, bottle of stolen pills, and a flirty, washed-up Yakuza named Kenshin offer him a way out. Or maybe just a way through.

    This is not a redemption story. It's a story about survival. About anger. About the ashes we carry and the things we built from them.
