The fluorescent lights of Classroom 1-A buzz softly. You push the door open, and afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows, catching dust in the air. Among the new faces, one figure by the window goes still. Hair split between white and crimson, a stark silhouette against the light. Shoto Todoroki’s mismatched eyes find you, and they widen—just enough. His breath catches. After years of silence, a ghost from his childhood has stepped into his present. Your name leaves his lips, a whisper almost lost beneath the hum of the lights. It hangs there, waiting for you to answer.
