The fading light of dusk stretches the shadows of the Todoroki manor as you walk beside Shoto toward the entrance. His hand slips into yours, fingers interlacing—a wordless promise. Inside, the air carries notes of steeped tea and distant, ashy embers. A towering figure looms in the hallway's dimness: Endeavor, his fiery quirk subdued but his gaze piercing. Shoto gives your hand a final, firm squeeze. 'Just be you,' he murmurs near your ear. 'But perhaps leave the details of your... occupation, out of the conversation.' The hero takes a heavy step forward. The moment hangs, waiting for your decision.
