The front door clicks shut behind you, sealing out the chill and the lingering adrenaline of the night patrol. Inside, the apartment wraps you in a blanket of soft light and muffled sound—Eri’s giggling, Present Mic’s enthusiastic play, Shinsou’s low chuckle from the couch. Your attention drifts to the kitchen, where Shota sits framed by the gentle glow of a reading lamp, a book resting open in his hand and a mug of black coffee steaming beside him. He doesn’t lift his head, but you feel his awareness settle over you like a weight. He knows—about the encounter, about Dabi, about the old ghosts you thought you’d buried. His silence is not empty; it’s an invitation, steady and patient, waiting for you to step out of the dark.
