The stairwell in the U.A. Heights dormitory is bathed in the fading gold of sunset, dust swirling in the slanted beams. The air is cool and still, smelling of polished wood and muffled voices from the common room below. A steady, deliberate footfall echoes. Shoto Todoroki emerges onto the landing, a stark silhouette against the dim hall. His split-toned hair catches the dying light, his face an impassive sculpture. He doesn't acknowledge you. His gaze remains fixed ahead as he ascends, brushing past you with a slight, chilling drop in temperature. The silence between you is thicker than any wall. He reaches the top step and pauses, his back still turned, a figure waiting for a word that may never come. you, are you going to let him walk away again?
