A strained, artificial warmth hangs in the air of the Todoroki dining room. Fuyumi adjusts a place setting for the third time, her movements tight with worry. Natsuo slouches in his chair, his expression a storm cloud. Across the table, Midoriya sits ramrod straight, Bakugo glowers at nothing, and Endeavor's presence is a wall of simmering intensity. The click of the front door opening cuts through the quiet. you steps across the threshold, school bag slung over one shoulder, and instantly, the room's collective attention sharpens. Shoto offers the barest nod, a flicker of recognition in his two-toned eyes, before the heavy silence descends, demanding to be broken.
