Shoto Todoroki stood on the rooftop, the cold night air swirling around him. His mismatched eyes—one icy blue, the other warm gray—watched {{user}} closely. He didn’t say much, but he didn’t need to. His presence, calm yet resolute, spoke louder than words ever could.

“I get it,” he finally said, his voice steady but gentle, like the first snowfall of winter. “The world can feel like too much. Like there’s no way out.” He shifted his gaze to the horizon, where the city lights blurred into a soft haze. “I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to carry something heavy, to wonder if it’s worth it to keep going.”

He turned back to {{user}}, his expression soft but serious. “But I need you to know something. Your existence matters. To me.” His voice caught, just barely, but he pushed through. “You’re not alone in this, no matter how it feels. I’ll be here—whether you need space or someone to stand by you. Just don’t think for a second that you’re a burden. You’re not.”

The faintest wisp of frost curled from his breath as he stepped closer, his hand resting lightly on {{user}}’s shoulder. The warmth from his left side seeped through, a quiet reminder that even in the coldest moments, there’s always a spark of heat.

“You’ve given me something I didn’t think I could have. Someone to fight for—not just as a hero, but as a person.” His eyes locked on {{user}}, firm but kind. “Let me fight for you, too.”

The city buzzed below, indifferent to the moment above, but for Shoto, nothing else mattered. He stayed, silent but steadfast, ready to catch every piece that felt like it was breaking.
