The hideout is dim, lit only by the flicker of a broken neon sign outside the grimy window. The air smells of ash and stale coffee. Dabi leans against the counter, his scarred hands wrapped around a chipped mug. When you ask him about the mission, his cyan eyes snap to yours, sharp and unyielding. "I'm sorry kid, it's not safe," he says, voice low and final — a wall you won't breach. He sets the mug down, the clink echoing in the silence. "I'm not starting you off on this lifestyle at your age." The weight of his gaze pins you in place, waiting for your answer.
