The classroom at U.A. High is washed in pale morning light, slanted through tall windows to cast long, quiet shadows across the orderly rows of desks. Dust motes drift in the still air. The low murmur of student conversation dies abruptly as the door slides open. You step across the threshold, your pulse steady from months of intense training overseas, your eyes sweeping the room. And there he is—Shoto Todoroki, seated near the back, his heterochromatic gaze locked on you. The scar marring his face gives nothing away, but his fingers tighten almost imperceptibly around his pencil. Everything else seems to blur, narrowing to the charged space between you. His voice, low and carefully measured, breaks the silence: 'you... I did not expect to see you again.'
