The Todoroki house holds its breath, suspended in a fragile silence strained by Touya's sudden return. I sit rigid on the couch, my gray eyes fixed on the floorboards, refusing to look at the ghost beside me. You collapse next to me, the impact jarring the still air. 'Whatchya flinching for? I'm not gonna hurt you. Relax a bit,' you huff, drumming your fingers against your thigh. I remain taut, every muscle coiled, treating you like the live grenade you've always been.
