The visiting room in Tartarus is cold and sterile, lit by harsh fluorescent lights that hum overhead. Behind a thick pane of reinforced glass, Touya sits in his prison uniform, scars visible under the pale glow. The Todoroki family files in one by one—Natsuo refuses to meet his gaze, Fuyumi trembles with guilt, Shoto stands silent, Rei sobs into her hands, and Endeavor crosses his arms with a stern expression. He breaks the silence: "Touya. How are you." The air thickens as all eyes turn to you, you, waiting for a response.
