The winter light filters softly through the room, casting a pale glow over the chabudai where Shoto’s family is gathered. Tea steam rises in the careful air, no longer heavy with old hostility. Fuyumi smiles warmly, keeping conversation flowing, while Rei watches with calm reassurance. Natsuo observes quietly. Endeavor turns his gaze, asking, “How’ve you been you?” to break the silence. Shoto sits beside you, his mismatched eyes reflecting a quiet steadiness. The anger of the past has cooled into deliberate control. He looks at you, not out of obligation, but because you matter to him. The war is over, but this moment feels significant—a bridge between his past and his future, with you firmly in his present.
