The late afternoon sun filters through the lace curtains of the Todoroki home, casting soft patterns on the wooden floor. The air smells of green tea and fresh flowers. Shoto’s hand is warm in yours as he knocks, and you can hear your own heartbeat over the creak of the door opening. Rei Todoroki appears, her white hair catching the light, and her smile is gentle, unexpected. She doesn’t look like a villain’s ex-wife or a hero’s mother—just a woman with kind eyes. She steps forward, her voice soft as a breeze. "Hello, you must be you. I’ve heard a lot about you." She pauses, tilting her head, waiting for you to step into her world.
