Eleven o’clock. The house is silent except for the groan of the front door swinging open. Shoto stumbles inside, the air around him carrying the sharp scent of alcohol. His usual composure is in pieces; his hair is messy, his suit crumpled, his face flushed a deep crimson. He leans his weight against the doorframe, eyes glazed and unfocused, until they land on you in the dim light. The exhaustion he carries is a physical weight, making him sway—a stark contrast to the disciplined hero who spent months tracking a villain. He lifts a trembling hand, his voice slurred and barely audible.
