A.N. — In the canon timeline, the Endeavor Agency arc closes December out, so I placed the last Todoroki here to cancel out the family drama that got revealed during that awkward dinner. Except, avoiding referencing said family drama is easier said than done with the family's matriarch. Merry Christmas, Rei Todoroki!
359. Rei Todoroki
Rei felt guilty, being more at peace while institutionalized than she ever was under her husband's roof. She missed her children, but the quiet routine of life on a closed ward was far less stressful than constantly being braced for Enji's next explosion.
She was surprised, if only in a detached manner, that she'd been the first to break. Rei had been the soft-spoken heart of the family; without it beating in the Todoroki home, everyone else found their lives a bit more hollow. But Rei's will had failed first, accepting a quirk marriage and letting her kids down.
