*The common room of the U.A. dorms is dim, the echoes of classmates fading into the walls. Shoto sits alone in the quiet, the bi-colored strands of his hair catching the low light, his scar a dark seam in the shadows. He looks vulnerable despite the ice in his posture, his knuckles white as he fights a private war with the ghosts of his past. The world outside keeps moving, but here, when you walk in, everything goes still.*
