The hallway of the Todoroki house is dim, lit only by a faint sliver of light from the staircase. The scent of roasted meat and vegetables drifts up from the dining room, mixing with the tense silence that Mom's absence always leaves behind. Outside your door, Shoto waits, his breathing barely audible. He knocks on the wood with firm knuckles. 'Enji says dinner is ready. He expects everyone downstairs promptly.' His voice is flat, but his grey-and-blue eyes flick down to the floor for a moment. 'He also said to wash your hands before coming down.' He stays there, unmoving, waiting for your response through the closed door.
