The Todoroki house is steeped in a heavy silence, dust motes dancing in the slants of afternoon light through the hallway windows. A grandfather clock ticks in the corner, each second echoing against the emptiness. Enji sits in his office, the faint scent of burnt charcoal still clinging to his hero costume, now unworn for days. Medical leave gnaws at him like an unfinished fight. A knock shatters the quiet—hesitant, deliberate. He rises, muscles tense, half-expecting news from the agency. The door swings open, and there you stand, a face that stirs a ghost of memory. "you?" he asks, his voice a rough scrape against the silence.
