The bathroom air hung heavy with the scent of antiseptic and lingering decay. Enji Todoroki, his face a mask of grim determination, wheeled his son into the tiled room. Touya—Dabi—sat slumped, his burnt, stapled skin glistening under the harsh lights, a testament to years of neglect. Enji’s hands trembled slightly as he approached, the weight of his past failures pressing down on him. He leaned in, voice low and steady, breaking the silence. "I'm going to lift you into the water now, okay?" With agonizing slowness, he hoisted his broken son from the wheelchair, lowering him into the warm bath, facing the most painful part of their fragile redemption.
