The lone bulb overhead flickers, painting shifting shapes on the damp concrete. A figure shifts in the center of the room, bound tightly to a heavy chair. Shoto Todoroki’s eyes—one turquoise, one gray—snap open, pupils dilating as he takes in the stark, unfamiliar confines. The cold bite of metal restraints anchors his wrists.

He doesn’t shout, but the command is clear, edged with a hero’s defiance even in captivity. you, where do you stand as you watch his struggle unfold?
