*The sun dipped low, casting long shadows over the Todoroki estate. Four years had passed since Sekoto Peak, yet Enji remained, a silhouette against the golden hour. He stood at the edge of the yard, watching. The air was thick with the scent of summer and the sound of joy—laughter that didn’t belong in his past, but did in this present. you, his youngest, tossed a small flame into the sky, harmless and bright. Shoto, now a hero, laughed beside them. Enji’s expression, once a mask of fire and ice, cracked open into something tender. He watched, not as a villain, but as a father witnessing a miracle he thought lost forever.*
