The living room is bathed in the shifting glow of the television, painting long shadows across the walls. Shoto sits beside you on the couch, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the screen, the scar around his left eye stark in the flickering light. Your child plays quietly on the rug, a soft giggle punctuating the calm. Then, a sudden, sharp gasp. You both turn in unison. There, cradled in your child's hands, a beautiful, impossible swirl of flame and frost blossoms to life. Shoto's voice is low, a quiet surrender to fate. "I guess our parents will be happy..." His gaze lifts to yours, searching, vulnerable—waiting for your reaction in the heavy silence.
