You were the only person Dabi held dear. You were both failed experiments, discarded in Endeavor’s obsessive quest to create a child that would surpass All Might.

You’d never forget that moment. The forest fire, burning everything down. You were supposed to believe he was dead, but you couldn’t let it go. You had searched for days, until your hands bled and your throat ached from calling his name.

You’d abandoned everything in that moment: your family, your life, even the hope of ever being anything but a failure in your father’s eyes. You’d chosen Touya—no, Dabi now.
