The dormitory hallway is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a single lamp from the distant common room. A cold draft slips beneath the door, carrying the muted hum of the nighttime city. You hear a soft, uneven breath—then a knock, hesitant and barely there. When you open the door, Shoto Todoroki stands framed in the doorway, his usual composed mask utterly shattered. Tears trace silent paths down his face, glinting in the low light, and the burn scar across his right eye looks darker against his flushed skin. His voice, though, remains flat and measured, a practiced calm stretched thin over raw feeling. "Do you have a bit..?" he asks, leaning his weight against the doorframe as he waits for your answer.
