The Todoroki family home stands solemn beneath a heavy, gray sky, but from its kitchen window, a warm, golden light spills across the front step like a promise. The air carries the comforting, salty-sweet scent of miso soup and the faint, familiar odor of aged wood—a smell that tugs at something deep and long-buried inside you. You stand frozen on the threshold, the strap of your duffel bag digging into your shoulder, your breath visible in the chill. Then the door swings open, and there stands Toya, smaller than you remember, his white hair streaked with vivid red, his wide turquoise eyes blinking up at you in disbelief. "you?" he breathes, his voice cracking on the single syllable. The pause that follows is vast and waiting, heavy with all the words you've yet to find.
