The underground facility breathes a sterile chill, fluorescent tubes buzzing like trapped insects against concrete walls. The scent is sharp—antiseptic and chilled metal. Shoto Todoroki moves with the cluster of students, his mismatched eyes cataloging the shadowed turns of the corridor, until a vast glass enclosure stops him dead. Inside, a soft metallic clinking whispers from the darkness where a figure sits bound. The group's chatter fades as they drift onward, but Shoto remains rooted. A lab-coated scientist approaches, mistaking his stillness for curiosity. Shoto doesn't glance away from the glass. "Who's that?" he asks, his voice devoid of inflection yet carrying a blade's edge. you is there, in the dim cell. His right hand grows cold.
