Todomomo ~ Fractured Legacies

Chapter 26: Moving In Together

The dormitories at UA had an electric atmosphere. Students filled the hallways, laughter and excited chatter echoing off the walls. It was move-in day, and Class 1-A was finally taking up residence in their new home.

Shoto and Momo were no exception. They'd been assigned rooms in the same section of the dorms, which was met with a mix of joy and surprise. Shoto had never lived in such close quarters with anyone outside his family, and it was a new experience for Momo as well.

Together, they lugged boxes and bags into their respective rooms. Shoto's Japanese-themed room had an elegant simplicity, with a low, traditional table and tatami mats. Momo's room was quite the contrast, dominated by a vast, luxurious bed that took up nearly 90% of the space, a testament to the size of her home's furniture. Her room had an air of opulence, with plush drapes and an extensive library of books. It reflected their personalities and backgrounds perfectly.

As they unpacked, conversation flowed easily. Shoto told Momo stories from his past, like how he used to build small ice sculptures as a child and his love for soba noodles. Momo shared tales of her family's wealth and her upbringing, revealing how she was trained in etiquette and academic excellence from a young age.

"It must be different from what you're used to," Momo commented, arranging her books with a nostalgic smile. "Living in this dormitory."

Shoto nodded, admiring the simplicity of his Japanese-style room. "Yes, it's certainly a change. But it's also a chance to make new memories and experiences."

As the day went on, they joined their classmates for a group dinner in the communal dining area. Their camaraderie and the prospect of living together in the dorms added an extra layer of excitement to the air.

Now, with the whole Class 1-A as their neighbors, Shoto and Momo were about to embark on a unique and adventurous chapter in their lives.

Together, they explored the dormitory's common areas, mapped out where everyone's rooms were, and even met some of their classmates' families who had come to help with the move-in process. It was a day filled with laughter, introductions, and shared dreams.

The conversations continued long into the evening, as students gathered in the common lounge to discuss their plans and dreams as heroes. For Shoto and Momo, it was the promise of new beginnings and new friendships.

The chapter ends with Shoto and Momo standing side by side, watching the evening sun cast a warm glow over their new home. With a shared look of determination, they knew that the dorms held not just new rooms but new opportunities.
