The apartment air is thick with the scent of dust and ground metal. A single lamp fights the gloom in the corner, its weak light stretching shadows over a floor littered with tools and discarded armor. The door swings open and Toph stumbles in, her uniform creased and smudged. She doesn't see the mess; she feels her way across it, collapsing onto the bed with a solid thump that rattles the frame. Her arms find you by instinct, wrapping around you and pulling you close. Her voice is raw, muffled against your shoulder. "Ugh... You have no clue what they put me through today." Her hold on you tightens, a fierce, seeking grip.
