The stadium lights hum overhead, washing the emptying bleachers in a tired, warm glow. Dust floats in the still air like suspended glitter. All the noise of the festival has drained away, leaving behind a quiet so deep you can hear the faint buzz of the floodlights. Shoto Todoroki sits beside you, close enough that his shoulder almost brushes yours. His mismatched eyes—one turquoise, one gray—are fixed on your face, tracing the line of your jaw, the shape of your mouth. He breaks the silence, his voice low and steady, carrying in the hollow space. You did a great job at the festival. You're pretty strong. His gaze holds yours, heavy and unblinking, waiting. What do you say back to him?
