Violet POV:

Breaking News: Forty-Seven People left Dead From A Bar Fight At Uncovered Secret Club "Norboru." More Updates From Police Soon.

I grimaced softly as I read the flashing news story from the televisions atop my head, barely able to focus on giving the barista my coffee order as the memories of what happened last night loomed in my mind.

Forty-seven people dead thanks to a certain broody, ashy man's little stunt of starting the bar fight-a broody, ashy man who, by the way, seemed completely guiltless as he slept like a baby all through the night.

Sure, maybe his heavy sleep was due to the insane amount of blood loss he endured from Midas' jewel hit. And, yeah, all forty-seven people killed at the club last night were villains, murdered by their leader....

But, it doesn't change the fact that lives were, indeed, taken. It doesn't change the fact that Dabi and I indirectly had something to do with how it all started. I'm sure the commission will be very less than pleased to know it all went down, simply because Dabi got jealous that a guy was groping me.

Yeah. 'Jealous.' I said it. I may be a prude, but I'm not clueless. One moment Dabi has his hands all over me, and the next moment he's fire punching men who touch me? Maybe it's too big-headed of me to say....but, I don't think that's a coincidence.

Not to mention.....the almost kiss that happened back at the hotel room.

Dabi's words from last night still rang through my mind, not just because of what he said....but also how uncharacteristically soft he said it.

"I'm bad for you. I'm not worth it."

Sure. He's telling me to stay away from him. I got that loud and clear. What I don't get, is his intentions for saying so.

Dabi's the type of person to be honest. He's also the type of person to completely disregard the ones he hurts. So, with this in mind, if Dabi simply didn't find me attractive, he wouldn't make up some bull crap excuse about how he's 'bad for me.' He would just straight up tell me I'm ugly. And he didn't.

But, at the same time, if Dabi truly found me attractive and wanted to hookup last night, he would have done it. He wouldn't have cared about the aftermath, or how much it would hurt me to become another check to his hookup list.

I mean, look at how he treats Euphoria.

So.....that leaves me at a loss. It leaves me not knowing how Dabi truly feels. One minute, he's groping me on the dance floor, and the next minute he's telling me to stay away.

It's confusing. I don't know how he really feels about me. Maybe he doesn't even know how he feels about me.

Regardless, it doesn't change what I'm about to do. I came to this coffee shop for one reason, and one reason only. It's only fair that I follow through. For everyone's sake.

A tired sigh escaped my lips as I watched the barista set the two coffees I ordered down at the checkout counter, causing me to trudge my feet over to pick them up.

"What a mess..." I grumbled to myself, not realizing how loud I'd spoken until the barista looked up.

"Oh, yeah. You looking at the news headlines? Pretty crazy, right? Forty-seven people dead. How in the world could something like that even happen." He whistled in surprise, starting to mix up another drink while shaking his head.

I have a pretty damn good idea how it happened...

But, regardless, this assignment is confidential and undercover. Civilians aren't even supposed to be aware it's happening, so I'll have to.....lie.
