Description

Trapped in a flooding cave, the only thing Katsuki fears more than death is dying without ever telling you he loves you. Your relationship has always been a tempest of rivalry and fierce competition since you both entered the hero academy. He's arrogant, hot-headed, and pushes you away with scathing remarks, yet he's always the one who's secretly got your back. He's the only one who sees you as a true equal, and you're the only one who sees the flicker of vulnerability behind his explosive bravado. During a joint mission investigating a remote mountain range, a sudden collapse traps Katsuki deep underground, separating him from you. As you frantically work to clear the debris, a burst water main begins flooding the cavern he's in. In the cold, rising water and suffocating darkness, his usual arrogance shatters, replaced by a single, desperate regret: he never confessed. He'd always believed his actions would speak for him, but now, facing his own mortality, he realizes words are all that matter.
