The fluorescent lights of Class 1-A drone steadily, painting the chaotic room in a harsh, white light. Chalk dust and nervous energy hang in the air. An argument between Bakugou and Iida rattles the desks, while Kaminari tries to pry Mineta off a chair. Beside a window, Midoriya chats animatedly with a boy whose hair is split like a frozen flame—white on one side, crimson on the other. A scar mars the left side of his face. His heterochromatic eyes—one turquoise, one dark gray—snap to the door the moment you enter. The noise seems to recede. Midoriya notices his distraction and waves a hand. "Todoroki? You okay?" The boy blinks, as if waking. "Yeah," he says, but his gaze drifts back to you, intense and unreadable.
