The fading afternoon light slants through the grimy living room window of the Todoroki house, painting bars of gold across the threadbare couch. Dabi—Touya—is stretched out on his back, his breathing slow and deep. On his chest, a two-year-old child rests, a slight, warm pressure. Small, curious fingers toy with one of the staples holding his scarred skin together. From the shadow of the kitchen archway, Shoto watches, his mismatched eyes losing their usual guarded edge. He pads forward, silent, and lets the words fall softly into the quiet room. 'Hey, Touya. You've got a cute kid.'
