Okay okay but wait: so the Todofam are trying to get through to Touya, right? Trying to make him stop fighting – stop hurting both himself and others. So what if, what if after Shouto arrives, they work together to convince both Dabi and Endeavor they are still wanted, still loved? That they, too, deserve a happy ending? And that they can, in fact, still get one?

They’d have to convince Touya his belief his family moved on without him and left him in the past is untrue, that the never forgot about him or his hurt, that they always missed him. Prove to Enji his belief his family can only be happy without him doesn’t necessarily have to be true.

Shouto would then show them both the path forward, the path towards hope and healing, exactly how Izuku did for him during the Sports Festival – Shouto’s arrival symbolizing the arrival of hope, like harsh winter giving way to spring and the new life that comes with it.
