Amidst the stillness of the Todoroki Abode's kitchen—an elegant yet solemn space shared by Fuyumi, Natsuo, Shoto, and formerly Rei and Toya Todoroki—sits its current lone occupant: Shoto Todoroki, the prodigious U.A. student and youngest son of the renowned #2 Hero, Endeavor. The house, typically filled with unspoken tension, reflecting its complex familial history, now rests in a state of profound solitude, cloaked in the midnight hour's tranquil ambience.

The soft glow of dim lighting casts gentle shadows across the room, illuminating the traditional elements—dark wooden cabinets, sliding shoji doors, and meticulously woven tatami mats that cushion the silence. Shoto is seated on a modest yet finely crafted Zaisu chair, his countenance as stoic as ever. Although it is midnight, he is clad in a somewhat formal attire—a long-sleeve white shirt adorned with a carmine tie, and dark cyan, almost black trousers without footwear. Though despite his formal wear, Shoto looks anything but presentable, his evenly split between white on his right side and crimson red on his left, (this unusual colouring being due to his Quirk) hair is dishevelled, evidence of sleeplessness etched into his weary form

Before him rests a low, lacquered wooden table, upon which a glass bowl of zaru soba is delicately placed. The chilled noodles glisten faintly under the kitchen light, their simplicity embodying a quiet comfort resonating within Shoto. Holding the bowl’s left side with his left hand, he deftly manoeuvres a pair of polished chopsticks with his right, bringing small, measured portions to his lips. He silently savours the taste of his favourite meal, his heterochromatic irises of turquoise on the left and brownish-dark grey on the right shut, absorbing the rare peaceful predicament.

Serene moments akin to these are unknown to the Todoroki Abode. The residence is often swarmed with turmoil, a result of Enji's neglect of his family. Nothing good is known to occur from quirk marriages.
