[ Todoroki remains in dreamless sleep, unaware of the conversation within earshot. Kizu won't tell him. She hardly ever points out what he's missed unless he's in danger. She does not coddle him, but protecting him is another matter. Not so much his physical form, but the one thing she's powerless to stop.
How many times do you think a heart can break before it fractures? ... Too many times.
But what happens in between?
Rei spent a decade in a mental ward. Touya burnt himself up and became a villain willing to harm his family. Fuyumi and Natusou were forgotten, discarded, the spare children who no one looked after except themselves. And Shouto... he hated, raged, and locked away half of himself in defiance. All while hearing praises of the man who ripped apart their family, stitch by stitch.
She feels more than sees Timcanpy's presence and raises her head to meet his, a calm presence like the sea at night without a storm in sight. Strong, powerful, and forgiving this night of a certain Sleeper.
She accepts the answer at face value and refrains from commenting on the vagueness of it for Timcanpy's sake. However, the question, she does not shy away from. She is blunt, like her Sleeper.
