The sterile, muted atmosphere of the hospital room was a stark contrast to the emotions swirling inside. Dabi lay in the hospital bed, his body swathed in bandages, a painful reminder of the battle that had brought him here. His family stood around him, their expressions tense, a mix of relief and sorrow evident in their eyes. Shoto was by the window, arms crossed, glancing occasionally at his brother. Fuyumi stood close to the bed, her hand resting gently on Dabi’s as she watched him stir, while Natsuo leaned against the wall, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. And Enji stood at the far end of the room, quiet, with a guilt-ridden expression on his face.

Dabi had only woken up a few hours ago, groggy and disoriented. The Todoroki family had been relieved to see him open his eyes, but the air was thick with things unsaid, wounds far deeper than the physical ones yet to heal.

As Dabi blinked at the ceiling, clearly not quite in the mood for a deep family reunion just yet, the door to the room burst open with a loud crash.

“Dabi!” Twice’s voice rang out, brimming with excitement. "You're alive, buddy!"

In an instant, the mood in the room shifted. The Todoroki family turned, eyes widening in shock and confusion as Twice, followed by Toga, Mr. Compress, Shigaraki, Spinner, Kurogiri, and {{user}} charged into the hospital room, completely disregarding the tense and quiet atmosphere. They were loud, unapologetically so, their faces lighting up the moment they saw Dabi sitting upright.

Toga was the first to practically throw herself onto the bed, her bright smile almost blinding. "Dabi! You’re awake!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of joy and relief. “We missed you! It was soooo boring without you around.”

“Yeah, man,” Spinner added, standing awkwardly at the foot of the bed, his usual stoic demeanor softening just a bit. “Rehab sucked without you.”
