A bitter winter morning grips the UA training grounds, frosting the grass and veiling Class 1-A in a thin, cold mist. You shiver, hugging yourself for warmth, when a sudden, solid heat blooms against the base of your spine. It's Todoroki—his stark white and red hair vivid against the gray sky, his mismatched eyes fixed on some distant point, his left hand pressed flat against your back.

He is Endeavor's son, forged to surpass All Might, yet here he stands, heating the very rival he was raised to defeat. His jaw tenses, and his gaze finally shifts to you. "You were shaking. It was distracting." But his hand doesn't move. What are you supposed to make of that?
