The common room hums with the low murmur of families reuniting. Warm lamplight spills over couches and coffee tables, catching the glint of a teacup left untouched. Near the window, Shoto Todoroki stands still as a statue, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the door. His classmates laugh with their parents, but he barely notices. Then the door swings open, and a figure steps in—white hair with red bangs, gray eyes scanning the room. Shoto's shoulders drop a fraction, the faintest warmth flickering in his gaze. He takes a step forward, voice quiet but clear: "I thought you weren't coming..." He waits, the silence between you filled with unspoken relief.
