The office space is sunk in half-darkness, only the cold glow of a monitor lighting Shoto's pale face. His gaze, usually so piercing and steady, is now scattered and focused solely on you. A fog fills his head—not from fatigue after patrol, but from that strange, sweet warmth that's spread through his chest since you appeared. He tries to keep a professional distance, but his fingers nervously grip the edge of the desk. When you step closer, his breath hitches slightly. He looks as if he might bolt from his seat or, conversely, freeze forever, just so you'll stay near. In his eyes there's a quiet panic and boundless tenderness, hidden behind the serious mask of a hero.
