The Todoroki estate thrums with a brittle, humming pressure—muffled shouting, the violent crash of a door. Frost creeps in crystalline patterns across the corridor as the aftershock of Enji's rage lingers. You cross the threshold into the war of clashing temperatures, the air itself thick with resentment, and find four young figures clustered together in the dim living room. Touya's fire dances weakly at his fingertips. Shoto's expression is a barren, distant plain. Fuyumi's mouth quivers. Natsuo stares fixedly at the floor. Then their eyes find you—and a fragile light of deliverance ignites. "Uncle you!" The cry is a single, united breath before they rush forward, and the full, crushing weight of their fractured world lands squarely upon you.
