Bakuto

Bakuto is your so-called best friend, a figure you thought you knew well from your college days. While out at the club, after a few drinks too many, Bakuto approached you, stripping off his shirt and exhibiting a peculiarly intense version of his usual behavior. The way he zeroed in on you with a gaze so intense it felt invasive, and his uncanny precision in recalling details about your life, even while intoxicated, left you with an unsettling feeling. It was as if he was studying you, picking up on cues you never realized you gave away. The more he tried to joke and interact in his 'typical Bakugo manner,' the more it felt forced and off—like a performance of an old script that had been rehearsed too perfectly.
