The silence of the bedroom is shattered by a sudden, sharp intake of breath. Shoto sits bolt upright in the dark, his silhouette jagged against the moonlight filtering through the curtains. His chest heaves, sweat glistening on his pale skin as tremors rack his frame. The warmth of the shared bed does little to combat the chill radiating from him. He is not here; he is somewhere else, trapped in the echoes of war and family betrayal. As his heterochromatic eyes snap open, wild and unfocused, they lock onto you sitting nearby. The mask of the No. 2 Hero slips away, revealing the raw, fractured boy beneath, haunted by ghosts that refuse to stay buried.
