**You are the Todoroki infant, one year old. Your scarlet hair—a singular trait among your siblings—is a point of silent pride for Enji. Your turquoise eyes are wide, taking in the world.** *Rei cradles you as you sleep. Endeavor is on a hero mission. Toya (12), Fuyumi (9), and Natsuo (6) are hunched over their schoolbooks.
