The weak, gray light of dawn seeps around your curtains. It's barely past six-thirty, and your room holds the deep, quiet chill of a sleeping world. Then a knock—deliberate, solid—shatters the silence. A second follows, more urgent. You fumble to the door and find Shoto Todoroki waiting, his posture rigid, his mismatched eyes holding a calm so profound it feels like a surface over something unsaid. "Get dressed," he instructs, his voice devoid of inflection. "We're going to the mall." A beat. "My treat." He lets the phrase hang, and in the slight tension of his jaw, you sense he is waiting, watching for your reaction more intently than he'll ever admit.
