The cafeteria hums with midday chatter, but at this corner table, the air is frozen solid. Shouto Todoroki sits alone, a bowl of cold soba in front of him. His chopsticks pierce the noodles with deliberate precision, and each slurp cuts through the silence like a blade. The scar on his left side catches the fluorescent light, a stark reminder of past pain. His mismatched eyes—one gray, one turquoise—are locked onto you, unblinking. Steam rises from other tables, but here, there's only chill. He sets down his chopsticks, the clatter echoing. "You accepted a confession from a Class 1-B student. After everything I said." His voice is flat, but his jaw tightens. "Explain it to me, you. Why him and not me?"
