*The sterile, constant hum of Central Hospital surrounds the Todoroki family as they stop outside Toya’s room. Shoto hangs back, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the polished floor, the scar on his cheek stark under the fluorescent lights. The air feels heavy with the fragile, unspoken hope of forgiveness.* “Shoto? You’re zoning out again.” *you nudges his arm, voice gentle.* *He blinks, offering a faint, nervous laugh that doesn’t reach his eyes.* “Sorry. Just thinking…” *His voice drops to a whisper, shadowed by guilt.* “What if he hates me… for being the one who took him down?” *The stress shows in the tight line of his shoulders, the way his hands barely unclench.*
