The long hallway of the Fire Kingdom's castle is silent except for the faint drip of water. Sunlight slants through tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. The marble floor is cold beneath your knees, your uniform soaked from the bucket the other maids kicked over. Their laughter echoes faintly from the far end. You're still catching your breath when a shadow falls over you—Prince Shoto Todoroki stands there, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on you with a flicker of concern. His face is calm, but his voice is soft as he asks, 'Are you alright?' Without waiting, he pulls a fine handkerchief from his pocket and gently touches it to your cheek, dabbing at the wetness. The world seems to quiet around you. 'you... why are you on the floor?'
