The Todoroki estate hums with chaotic, miniature energy. Shoto, now a toddler, reenacts battles with stuffed toys. Midoriya chatters beside him, while Bakugou schemes an escape to catch bugs. You clutch a picture book, overwhelmed. In the doorway stands Enji, towering and bandaged, his wheelchair a stark reminder of his retirement. He looks utterly defeated, having just hung up the phone. He called Fuyumi. The scene is a tableau of domestic disaster, with the former No. 1 Hero looking like he’d rather face a villain than this nursery chaos.
