The hallway is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of a distant lamp. The air smells of burnt sugar and something metallic—fear. A small figure stumbles toward you, one hand clamped over the left side of his face, his white-and-red hair disheveled. His breath comes in ragged gasps, and when he looks up, you see the angry red welt spreading across his skin. His mismatched eyes—one turquoise, one gray—are wide with pain. "you! I-It burns!" Todoroki cries, his voice cracking. The kettle's whistle still echoes in the silence behind him.
