Mustatafu General Hospital
Dr. Hanaguchi
congratulations Todoroki-sama.
Dr. Hanaguchi
she looks exactly like you, sir
Todoroki Enji
it's a girl?
Dr. Hanaguchi
what would you like to name her?
Todoroki Enji
can I see her first?
Dr. Hanaguchi
I'll get someone to bring her in
the doctor exits and Rei finally wakes up
Todoroki Enji
you're awake.
Todoroki Enji
they're bringing her in and we can name her together
Rei sits herself up and Enji helps her by adjusting the bed
a nurse enters, carrying a small purple bundle
the nurse carefully handed the bundle to Enji, who took it with ease.
Todoroki Rei
she looks a lot like you
Rei points to the baby's brilliant red hair
Todoroki Rei
that's your hair
Todoroki Enji
she's very...
Todoroki Enji
ah yes, adorable
the nurse hands Rei some documents
nurse
please fill them out
nurse
after you are done, please take them to the nurses station down the hall
nurse
I shall take my leave then
the nurse leaves and Enji remains fascinated by his daughter
Todoroki Enji
I wonder what quirk she'll have
Todoroki Rei
perhaps something like yours.
Todoroki Enji
a very powerful fire quirk then?
Todoroki Rei
or maybe a ice quirk
Todoroki Enji
yeah, we can't really rule that out
Todoroki Enji
as for her name...
Todoroki Rei
it means bright, clear, and happiness
Todoroki Enji
yes, I like the sound of that
Todoroki Enji
she'll be the bright star, maybe next to our perfect child
Todoroki Rei
don't tell me...
Todoroki Rei
(not again...)
Todoroki Enji
she'll lead the next, the masterpiece
Todoroki Enji
she'll pave their path
Todoroki Enji
she'll light it like a bright star in the dark night.
Todoroki Enji
we'll just have to try next year.
Todoroki Enji
don't raise your voice like that, Rei.
Todoroki Enji
you just came from labour.
four years has passed and now Shoto has all their father's attention
Shoko is now 4 years old and Enji recieved the results of her quirk diagnosis
so far, she has shown no signs of a quirk, but displayed incredible amounts of genius
being able to solve complicated calculus, and being able to speak and write in Japanese and English fluently at two years old!
it was nothing short of a genius
Todoroki Enji
she's what, doctor?
Dr. Hanaguchi
the double joint on her pinky is a telltale sign
Dr. Hanaguchi
and you have said she had shown no signs of a quirk other than her incredible genius?
Dr. Hanaguchi
it might be that her genius is not quirk-related, but a natural one
Dr. Hanaguchi
and from your genetics, it's impossible she'll inherit an IQ quirk in the first place
Dr. Hanaguchi
if she does have an IQ quirk, it implies an unsavory rumor with your wife
Todoroki Enji
are you saying my wife slept with somebody else?!
Dr. Hanaguchi
ahahahaha...
Dr. Hanaguchi
as much of an interesting thing that would be, Todoroki-sama, but no.
Dr. Hanaguchi
I don't believe that is the case
Dr. Hanaguchi
Shoko's appearance alone begs to differ
Dr. Hanaguchi
however, her intelligence is off the charts
Todoroki Enji
what's good her smarts are for when we all know the quirkless are useless?!
Dr. Hanaguchi
that's rather offensive Todoroki-sama.
however, the doctor's last comment goes unheard as a fuming Enji storms out of his office.
Dr. Hanaguchi
what a shame
Dr. Hanaguchi
that kid's got a big potential
he stretches in his chair
Dr. Hanaguchi
but it's none of my business now
a few years pass once again, and now, Shoko is 6 and Shouto is 5
Todoroki Natsuo
Oko-channnnn!
Todoroki Natsuo
you beat me again!
Todoroki Shoko
it's your fault...
Todoroki Shoko
for challenging the chess master without a care.
Shoko looks at Natsuo with her usual deadpan face
Todoroki Shoko
I'm going back to my closet
Todoroki Shoko
it appears that you called me out here so you can get your smelly butt handed back to you for the 54th time
she stands up and Natsuo begged for her to stay
Todoroki Natsuo
no please!
Todoroki Natsuo
I swear I'll win this time!
Todoroki Natsuo
pretty please??????
Todoroki Shoko
dad's going to be home at approximately half an hour, and I would hate to get in his way
Todoroki Shoko
besides, I wanna go spend time is Oya-kun now!
Todoroki Natsuo
noooooooooo!
Todoroki Natsuo
my sweet little sis!!!! don't leave me here to die all alone!!!!!
Shoko ignores his pleas and promptly leaves the living room
she looked around for any sign of Touya, but grabbed herself some food in the kitchen first
as she ate her neatly prepared jam sandwich, she heard her father arrive home
Todoroki Shoko
father's home!
she drops her sandwich and ran to her closet to hide
Todoroki Natsuo
welcome back... father.
Todoroki Touya
father, please check out the new move I made earlier!
Todoroki Fuyumi
father, welcome back...
Todoroki Rei
welcome home Enji
Todoroki Shoto
good evening father!
they shared a quiet dinner afterwards
the years of child bearing had done a toll on Rei. gone was the years she was 'equal' to Enji, and instead now just submits to him
Touya is the passionate successor of their father until his quirk started to burn him and is replaced by Shouto
Fuyumi helps her mother around...
Natsuo hangs out and helps out his siblings
and Shouto is the loving youngest, yet forcibly torn from the others because of his training
Todoroki Shoko
so where is my place in this story?
Todoroki Shoko
where do I stand?
Todoroki Shoko
I always hide in my closet...
Todoroki Shoko
my closet, where I share the space with my books and clothes
Todoroki Shoko
I can always hide in it!
Todoroki Shoko
I don't ever have to come out
Todoroki Shoko
after all...
meant to be kept in the shadows
