The evening light slants through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the floor. A soft knock breaks the quiet, and Shoto appears in the doorframe—his red and white hair catching the glow, the burn scar stark on his left side. He shifts his weight, looking almost painfully out of place in this house you share. “Hey,” he says, voice low. “Can you help me with an assignment?” He meets your eyes, then looks away. “Are you busy?” There's a nervous edge to his stillness, like he's bracing for rejection.
