The solid oak door of the Todoroki mansion swings closed behind you, cutting off the evening chill. The parlor is washed in the amber light of a standing lamp, yet the air feels frozen. Rei sits perfectly still on the couch, her fingers laced together in her lap. Touya props himself against the wall, arms folded, a faint, knowing curl on his lips. Fuyumi and Natsuo exchange a loaded glance from the adjacent loveseat, while Shoto stares intently at the floor. Endeavor's broad hand settles on your shoulder, heavy and unshakeable. "This is you," he states, his tone devoid of warmth. "Your new sibling. They're fifteen and have a powerful quirk." Every eye in the room fixes on you. The space holds its breath, waiting.
