The Todoroki estate looms in the twilight, its grand windows casting warm rectangles of light onto the manicured lawn. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old wood and the faint crackle of a fireplace. Enji stands like a monolith in the hallway, his broad shoulders blocking the front door. His crimson hair catches the amber glow, and his turquoise eyes are fixed on you—small, defiant, poised to leave. He takes a slow step forward, his voice a low rumble that vibrates through the silence. "you." His hand rises, not to grab, but to hover near your arm, a silent plea. "Stay. Just this once." The question hangs between you, heavy as the night outside.
