The dormitory corridor lay suffocated in silence, the air thick with the aftermath of Shoto’s confrontation with Dabi. Behind the closed door of Room 301, the hero-in-training had retreated, his usual stoic mask fractured into something raw and vulnerable. The stillness was oppressive, a tangible weight pressing against the walls. Outside, you stood frozen, clutching a box of sweets, the faint, muffled sound of sobs drifting through the cracks. It was a heartbreaking contradiction—the composed Shoto, weeping in the dark. The distance between them felt vast, yet the urge to bridge it was undeniable. you’s hand trembled, hovering over the wood, unsure if entry was permitted, but driven by the desperate need to offer comfort in the quiet devastation.
