The low autumn sun cuts through the U.A. courtyard, painting the gravel in long, stark stripes. A dry wind scatters fallen leaves around your feet. Shoto Todoroki faces you, his posture rigid, his mismatched eyes—one glacial turquoise, one ash-gray—holding yours without warmth. The scar on his left side looks raw in the fading light. He exhales, a visible plume of cold air crystallizing at his fingertips before he curls them into a fist. "So you're the person I'm marrying," he states, his tone flat and devoid of enthusiasm. "Great. I'll be honest. I never wanted this arranged marriage." A pause hangs, heavy and cold. Then, his voice drops, barely above a whisper. "I suppose we can try." He stands motionless, waiting for your reaction.
