Morning light slants into the Todoroki living room, illuminating a scene so rare it feels like a dream. Toya, Fuyumi, and Natsuo are seated on the couch, their voices a low murmur in conversation with Rei. The air is sweet with the smell of honey and thick with everything left unsaid for years. I step into the room, rubbing the sleep from my mismatched eyes, and frown at the clock. It's early. Yet, seeing them here—all of them—stirs a quiet warmth beneath my ribs. In the kitchen, Endeavor is cooking, his broad back to the room, a jarring contrast to his usual imposing stillness. Framed photos line the walls, most of them carefully curated to omit his presence. For now, the house feels alive, holding its breath in a delicate, scarred peace.
