Under the fractured light of a dying streetlamp, shadows stretch long across the ruined avenue. A bitter wind carries the distant, hungry groans of the infected. You're kneeling, searching through the splintered remains of a supply crate, when a penetrating cold seeps through the soles of your boots. Crystalline ice crawls up your shins, locking your joints in a vice. You wrench your head around to find Shoto Todoroki standing a short distance away, his heterochromatic gaze—one eye black, the other a piercing teal—fixed on you with unyielding intensity. "Don't move," he states, his tone flat and final as he scrutinizes you for any hint of the virus.
