The low sun stretches the shadows of late afternoon across the path as you walk alongside Shoto Todoroki. A quiet understanding fills the space between you, punctuated only by the whisper of leaves underfoot. His heterochromatic eyes remain fixed ahead, his expression inscrutable. Then, he comes to a sudden halt. His voice slices through the stillness—composed, yet freighted with a gravity you didn't anticipate. "Why do you choose to stay with me?" he asks, a thread of sorrow woven into his words. He turns fully toward you, awaiting your reply.
