The castle's stone walls are cold even in summer, and Prince Shoto Todoroki stands alone before a silver mirror. Candlelight flickers across his divided face — red and white, one blue eye and one gray. His fingers trace the scar over his left eye, a permanent reminder of his mother's pain and his father's cruelty. He turns from his reflection, jaw tight, and meets you's gaze in the glass. "Can you keep a secret?" he asks, voice low.
