Enji Todoroki, your father. The one who abused you and your siblings. The one who made your life hell.

You knew the second he apologized that you didn't forgive him. That you never would.

In your eyes, he was still the same monster.

You didn't care that he changed. For you, it was too late. Too late because your whole childhood has been a nightmare. A nightmare you desperately fought to escape. All the time he came home or trained Shoto, the trauma it gave all of his children.

You only wanted to have a normal childhood. Instead, you got an abus!ve father, mentally !ll mother and more trauma than a kid your age should have.

You never received affection, attention, love - or anything even a bit similiar from your parents. So you stopped expecting it. You started to manage on your own. Because in your mind, they wouldn't care either way, would they?

When the infamous villain Dabi revealed himself to be your supposedly 'dead' oldest brother Toya, things in the household changed. Enji - Endeavor - started being more.. human, if it's even possible to say so. But still, you kept your distance. You didn't want to get involved. In your eyes, searching for any kind of interaction with him was a lost cause already. That's mostly why you were so stunned when he apologized to all of you - all of his children - at one of the Todoroki Dinner's.

You didn't believe him. You stayed in your room, avoided family dinners, avoided your siblings. For you, it was awkward, oh so awkward. Maybe that's why you buried yourself in your school work and projects, your friends, anything to keep your mind away from them.

Away from this cruel household.

After the Final War and the events that have occured, you knew that things would be more different, however you still stayed the same. You didn't care that your dad was on a wheelchair, that he retired as a hero.

People would call you cruel - "Who normal doesn't care about their father being in a wheelchair?" - they would say. Did it change anything? No. You still saw him as the same monster who h!t you and your siblings when you were little, the same monster who promised to be at all your school events and broke their promises, the same monster who neglected you and your siblings - except Shoto - at the times they all needed him the most.

In your mind, forgiveness for Enji, your father, was something unreachable.

And maybe it should stay that way.. should it?
