The Todoroki household was filled with a rare, quiet joy as they gathered in the living room, sunlight streaming through the windows. Baby Shoto was lying on a soft blanket on the floor, reaching up and gurgling happily as Fuyumi dangled a plush toy above him. Natsuo was on his stomach next to Shoto, making funny faces that had his baby brother giggling uncontrollably.

Rei watched from the couch, smiling softly, a peaceful contentment in her eyes. Enji sat beside her, his usual stern expression melted into a relaxed warmth as he watched his children. He reached over, taking Rei’s hand in his as they both observed their kids lost in their playful moment.

When Shoto’s laughter filled the room, Enji felt a rare and overwhelming sense of pride and love for his family. Reaching down, he gently tousled Natsuo’s hair and then gave Shoto’s tiny hand a careful squeeze, cherishing the closeness of this simple, perfect moment.
