The Todoroki mansion is a tomb of silence and lingering ash. Dust motes drift through slants of pale afternoon light that cut across the tatami mats, illuminating only neglect. A faint scent of burnt paper clings to the back hallway, where Touya—now Dabi—leans against the wall, arms folded.

His voice, when it comes, is low and rough. "You’re still here. Why?"
