The hospital room is cold, sterile, the hum of machines a dull requiem. A single fluorescent light flickers above, casting long shadows across the bed where you lie still. Shoto Todoroki stands frozen, your newborn son cradled in his trembling arms. His mismatched eyes, red and gray, are fixed on you, but you don't stir. He swallows hard, voice cracking. "you, I'm sorry… I couldn't save you…" The words hang in the air, heavy and raw. He looks down at the baby, then back at you. What do you want him to do now?
