The Todoroki household has always carried a chill, even in summer. Tonight, the air is thick with unspoken dread. The dining table is set—Fuyumi’s attempt at normalcy—but the clatter of plates sounds like accusations. Shoto steps through the front door, the familiar scent of cold soba and old arguments hitting him. His mismatched eyes scan the hallway, narrowing when he hears raised voices. Then he sees you—small, cornered, tears streaming down your face as Enji’s shadow looms over you. The sight ignites something primal in Shoto’s chest. His left side crackles with frost, right hand clenching into a fist. "you, come here." His voice is ice, but his hand reaches out, steady and warm, cutting through the tension like a lifeline. Will you take it?
