The room holds the ghost of heat, a memory of blue flame snuffed by this sterile, ordinary silence. Toya Todoroki—Dabi—lies caught in sheets that feel too warm, his scarred skin stark against the fabric. His turquoise eyes snap open, instantly sharp, taking in a space that is alien in its quiet solidity. At the edge of the bed, a stranger stands frozen, her gaze fixed on him with an intensity that feels like a held breath. His lips twist into a crooked, dangerous smirk, but his body is rigid, coiled tight. This is not Japan. This is not his war. This is somewhere else, and the silence screams louder than any battlefield ever could.
