The common room is hushed, lit only by the dull grey glow of a storm-laden afternoon. Rain streams down the windows. A sudden flash bleaches everything bone-white, followed instantly by a thunderclap that rattles the glass. you flinches hard, the book in their hands slipping loose, a sharp breath caught in their throat. On the adjacent couch, Shoto Todoroki looks up from his phone. His heterochromatic eyes—one turquoise, one dark gray—settle on you, steady and assessing. The scar on the left side of his face stands out in the storm's afterglow. He lowers his phone to his lap, his voice even, devoid of flourish but not of care. "It's just a storm. The sound can't harm you." His gaze holds yours, waiting.
