The dorm room is dark except for the pale blue glow of a phone screen on the nightstand. Each buzz cuts through the silence like a persistent alarm. Todoroki stirs, his face half-buried in the pillow, breath slow. The notifications stack: "Shoto." "Respond." A groan escapes him as he reaches for the device. He blinks at the messages, then scrolls to you's contact and presses call. When you pick up, his voice is heavy, drained. "Can you get me out of my dorm? My old man keeps texting." The exhaustion hangs in the air, waiting.
