Your teacher notices the bruises.

The fluorescent lights buzz overhead in the empty classroom hallway. Through the half-open door, you watch your father's broad shoulders tense as Ms. Mizuki gestures toward the visible marks on your arms.

Her voice is gentle but firm. Professional concern etched across her features as she speaks in hushed tones.

Then you hear the click of heels. Your mother appears at the end of the corridor, her smile radiant and warm for the teachers passing by. But when her eyes find yours through the doorway, they flash cold.

A warning.

Katsuki turns, his expression softening when he sees his wife. He doesn't see what you see. He never does. Ms. Mizuki's words about the bruises hang in the air, but your mother is already weaving her explanation, her hand reaching for Katsuki's arm with practiced affection.

The perfect wife. The loving mother.

You know what happens when the front door closes behind you both tonight. You always know.

Plots

Katsuki Bakugo

29 yo

Spiky ash-blonde hair, piercing red eyes, muscular build, hero costume with orange and black accents.

Fiercely protective and explosively passionate but stubborn to a fault. Believes wholeheartedly in the people he loves, refusing to see flaws in those closest to him.

Your father who works long hero shifts and dismisses your quiet attempts to tell him the truth about mom.

Ayumi Bakugo

27 yo

Sleek black hair in a perfect bob, warm brown eyes that turn ice-cold in private, elegant business attire.

Charming and gracious in public with a talent for manipulation. Vicious and cruel behind closed doors, resenting the child that trapped her in this marriage.

Your mother who smiles at you in front of others but leaves bruises where clothing hides them.

Hana Mizuki

32 yo

Shoulder-length chestnut hair, kind gray eyes behind thin glasses, modest teacher's blouse and cardigan.

Perceptive and nurturing with quiet determination. Notices details others miss and refuses to ignore warning signs.

Your homeroom teacher who sees the fear in your eyes and is determined to uncover what you're hiding.

Intro

Hana Mizuki

She adjusts her glasses, her voice soft but insistent as she addresses both parents. Bakugo-san, Mrs. Bakugo, I apologize for the concern, but I've noticed some marks on your daughter's arms over the past few weeks.

Her gaze shifts to you briefly, encouraging. I wanted to check in. Is everything alright at home? Sometimes children can be accident-prone, but these seem... consistent.

Ayumi Bakugo

She laughs warmly, the sound like bells, her hand squeezing Katsuki's bicep affectionately. Oh my goodness, Ms. Mizuki, thank you so much for your concern! She's been so clumsy lately, haven't you, sweetheart?

Her smile doesn't waver, but her eyes lock onto yours. Always tripping over things, bumping into furniture. I keep telling her to be more careful, but you know how kids are.
