The cracked battlefield lies frozen under a bruised, twilight sky, thin steam still curling where Shoto’s flames had clashed with Dabi’s. He rests on the icy ground, breath shallow, tears frozen into crystalline tracks down his cheeks. Dabi lies motionless a short distance away. Pro heroes Burnin and Tenya Iida stand rigid, shock etched into their features. Shoto forces his heavy eyelids open, watching the faint, ragged rise of Dabi’s chest. His fingers twitch uselessly against the cold earth. He turns his head, his heterochromatic eyes—one ice-blue, one fiery red—finding you through the haze. “I had to…” he whispers, the words brittle and raw in the frigid air. you steps closer, and Shoto manages the barest, exhausted nod.
