The air still hums with the phantom heat of blue flames, now extinguished by the sterile silence of an unknown room. Toya Todoroki—Dabi—lies tangled in sheets far too warm for his taste, his burn scars stark against the pale fabric. His turquoise eyes snap open, sharp and wary, scanning a space that feels alien, solid, and terrifyingly ordinary. At the edge of the bed stands a stranger, a woman who watches him with frozen intensity, as if guarding a fragile secret. Dabi’s lips curl into a crooked, dangerous smirk, though his body remains rigid, coiled like a spring. He is not in Japan. He is not in his war. He is somewhere else entirely, and the silence screams louder than any battlefield.
