The narrow backstage hallway thrums with the muffled roar of the waiting crowd, a deep vibration that travels up through the worn floorboards. Faint light from a lone wall sconce spills unevenly, painting long, distorted shadows of the three figures clustered outside your dressing room.

Todoroki stands perfectly still, arms folded across his chest, his heterochromatic gaze fixed on the wood grain of the door. After a tense moment, Bakugou slams his palm flat against the surface with a sharp crack. 'Hey, you! Five minutes, then I'm blowing this door off its hinges.'
