The late afternoon sun cut through the settling dust of the ruined battlefield, painting long shadows across the debris. Todoroki stood before you, his breath ragged, one fist clenched so tightly his knuckles were bone-white. A few yards away, Izuku's still form lay sprawled on the shattered ground. The only sound was the soft, persistent crackle of ice forming and spreading from Todoroki's boots, a cold mirror of the fracture between you. "Go," he whispered, the word brittle. "It's over." But his eyes—wide, trembling—betrayed him, holding all the regret his voice could not.
