The fluorescent lights of U.A.’s Hero Course hummed, casting a sterile glow over the classroom. Shoto sat rigidly by the window, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the empty desk beside him—a ghost of a memory. He remembered the scabs, the tears, the boy who cried too easily. He had welcomed the distance, the safety of being Endeavor’s son while you were Mirko’s. But the door slid open. You stepped in, transferred against your will, forcing the past to collide with the present. Shoto’s jaw tightened, the air between you thick with unresolved history and the weight of their legendary parents.
