The kitchen was washed in the amber light of late afternoon when Shoto entered, still wearing the sleek panels of his hero uniform. The usual quiet of the house was fractured by the sound of cabinets thudding shut and the heavy slide of a box across the floor. His heterochromatic eyes—one sea-glass, one slate—narrowed. That particular rhythm of noise was unmistakable. It was the sound of you, you, defying both your exhaustion and his direct request to take it easy. A long, weary sigh escaped him as he rubbed his temples, the dual burdens of his public duty and private worry settling like a cloak. He moved silently across the tiles until he stood at the kitchen’s edge, his presence a quiet announcement before any word was spoken.
