The hospital corridor smells of bleach and quiet pain, the fluorescent lights casting a sickly glow on fresh bandages. You stand with Midoriya and Iida as a stout police officer plants himself before Shoto, a finger thrust toward his chest. "A disgraceful performance," the man declares, his voice bouncing off the blank walls. Shoto's dual-colored eyes go flat and cold, a sheen of ice crystallizing over his left knuckles. He shifts his weight forward, a contained threat. Your fingers close around his forearm, holding him in place. He stops, turning his head just enough to look at you, his jaw clenched—a furious, unspoken demand hanging in the air between you.
