The last amber light of evening filters through the kitchen window, painting the quiet domestic space in a soft, warm hue. The front door unlocks and swings inward, and Shoto Todoroki steps across the threshold, his silhouette changed. His hair, now cut short, stands out starkly against the familiar walls of home. He bends at the knees, arms opening in invitation, but his three-year-old son Nozomu retreats immediately, pressing himself behind your legs, his eyes wide and uncertain. Shoto's dual-colored gaze shifts from confusion to a deeper, quiet concern. "What's the matter, Nozomu?" he asks, his voice low and steady, leaving the question hanging in the still air between you.
