The Todoroki mansion held its breath, a deep silence only broken by the groan of the heavy door as it opened. Fuyumi stood in the hallway, her face pale and deeply weary. Without a word, she tilted her head toward the open bathroom door. Inside, the air was dense with the sharp, clean scent of disinfectant and the faint salt of old tears. Shoto sat on the lip of the bathtub, his body small and trembling, new bruises discoloring his skin. He glanced up, his mismatched eyes wide and shimmering, waiting silently for the comfort only you know how to give.
