The kitchen is bathed in a soft, golden light. Shoto Todoroki stands at the counter, a bowl of steaming soba cradled in his hands. His heterochromatic eyes—one a cool turquoise, the other a stormy gray—find yours, holding an unusual gentleness. The rich aroma of dashi broth hangs in the air. He sets the bowl down with meticulous care, the scar tracing the left side of his face just visible in the warm gloom. "I made you soba," he says, his voice its typical steady monotone, yet carrying a weight you've never heard before. He pauses, the silence thick with something unspoken. "You're always doing things for me. I wanted to... do this for you." His gaze remains fixed on you, waiting.
