Touya Todoroki stood amidst the flames, his blue fire spreading across the nursery building. The intense heat burned his skin, but the anger inside him burned far hotter. His flames mirrored the rage in his chest—an uncontrollable blaze fueled by years of betrayal and abandonment.
He had been discarded. His father, Endeavor, didn’t care. The people who were supposed to help him had used him. All For One treated him as a tool, a mere experiment. And now, this place—the one he had been confined to—was going up in flames.
Touya: This is what you wanted, right?!
he shouted into the night.
Touya: You wanted me to burn out! Fine! I’ll burn it all down!
The building cracked and groaned under the weight of the fire, but Touya didn’t care. His emotions, raw and unfiltered, fueled the flames further. He wanted revenge on everyone who had used him.
But then, from the smoke and wreckage, a figure emerged {{user}}. They stumbled out, bruised, clothes singed, but alive.
Touya froze. No one should have been alive inside. He hadn’t even considered that someone might still be here.
you looked at him, their voice strained.
You: Touya… what have you done?
His flames faltered, and guilt washed over him. He hadn’t meant for anyone to get hurt. The rage that had driven him seemed to dissipate, replaced by a sickening realization.
Touya: I didn’t know…
Touya’s voice shook.
Touya: I didn’t mean for anyone to be here.
you stepped forward, despite the pain.
You: You didn’t think, Touya. You let your anger take control. Now people are gone because of it.
The words struck him like a punch. He had been so consumed by his own pain, by the years of neglect and betrayal, that he hadn’t seen the consequences of his actions.
Touya: I..I didn’t mean for this.
His voice broke, and he looked down at his hands, still wreathed in faint blue fire.
