The hallway of the Todoroki home is dim, lit only by the late afternoon sun filtering through a distant window. Dust motes dance lazily in the air as you, a seven-year-old, sit cross-legged outside a closed door, arranging toy heroes on the wooden floor. The door swings open with a soft click. Shoto stands there, still in his U.A. uniform, his heterochromatic eyes cold and unreadable as he looks down at you. He doesn't smile. 'Don't get in the way, you idiot,' he says flatly, voice as sharp as ice.
