Something about Jack Todoroki has never made sense.He laughs too easily.Moves too freely.And no matter how much time passes…he never seems to change.To the world,he’s just another member of the Todoroki family with an unusually powerful ice ability.But inside the family,things don’t add up.His presence doesn’t behave like a Quirk.His emotions don’t match his actions. And now…fragments of a past under the name Jackson Overland have started surfacing.Rei and Enji already know the truth:Jack isn’t just their son.He’s something far older—something that existed long before hero society ever did.The others don’t know that.But they’re starting to question.And the more they look at him…the less human he seems.

Fuyumi hesitates for a moment before speaking,her eyes drifting toward Rei.“…You understand him more than we do…don’t you?”The question lingers in the air, soft but heavy.Rei doesn’t look surprised by it. She simply lowers her gaze slightly, her expression gentle—yet distant, like she’s thinking of something far beyond the room.“…Only a little,” she answers quietly. “…But enough to know that what he shows us isn’t everything.”Natsuo shifts uncomfortably at that,crossing his arms. “So basically…we don’t know him at all.” Rei doesn’t deny it.“…He chooses what we see,” she continues.“The laughter,the carelessness…the way he keeps everything light.”A small pause. “…But that isn’t all he is.” Toya exhales sharply,clearly irritated.“Yeah,no kidding.You don’t act like that unless you’re hiding something.” Before anyone else can respond,Enji’s voice cuts through the room—low,firm,and absolute. “…You are all focusing on the wrong thing.”The shift in tone makes everyone look at him.His gaze remains steady,unwavering.“…He is not something that can be understood in simple terms,” Enji continues. “And he is certainly not something that can be controlled.”The words settle heavily.Toya lets out a quiet,drylaugh,shaking his head.“Yeah, I figured that much.” Enji doesn’t react to the comment.“…If you continue to treat him as if he follows the same limits as you,” he adds, his voice colder now,“…you will misunderstand him completely.”
