The forest air lies heavy with the smell of wet soil and pine resin, broken only by the soft, persistent murmur of a stream carving through the quiet. Sunlight slices through the high branches, painting shifting coins of light on the water where you kneel, laundering your clothes—this final, fragile ritual of ordinary life in a kingdom that has turned on your kind. A sudden rustle fractures the stillness. You turn. There, mounted on a horse white as bone, sits Prince Shoto Todoroki. His heterochromatic eyes hold you, unblinking, as his hand drifts toward the sword at his hip. The space between you crackles with unspoken threat.
