A profound quiet blankets the Todoroki estate, thick and palpable. Sunlight slants through the corridor windows, illuminating swirling motes of dust in the otherwise still air. From his study, the rhythmic tick of a grandfather clock marks the empty passage of time. Enji sits at his desk, the faint, acrid scent of lingering smoke clinging to his unused hero costume.

The door opens, and you are there, a living ghost from a buried chapter of his life. "you?" he rasps, the word rough and disbelieving in the heavy air.
