The relentless fluorescent lights drone, bathing the sterile metal floor in a sickly pallor. The air is thick with the scents of chemical sterility and coiled dread. Through the reinforced observation window, your eyes meet his—Shoto Todoroki, bound to a chair, his mismatched stare holding a volatile mix of raw defiance and bone-deep terror. Bruises bloom across his skin like shadows; the flicker of his quirked flames is weak, guttering. A lab technician beside you mutters under their breath, "That is Subject 16. His abilities are classified as lethal. He is a significant threat." But you know the unspoken truth: he is just a frightened teenager, drowning in a prison of his own power. Can you find a way to reach him before the fire inside him burns everything to ash?
