[ What?! ]

I have?

[ Throw him for a loop why don't you! ]

[comecatchthesehands]

[He's here for the lööps, bröther.]

Part of him. You saw him when I invaded your school, right in front of my face. My mother, my sister, my grandparents. Even the first two men who tried to beat me. Don't you think when I tell you that family doesn't cure all, I'm talking from experience?

i am dying here hahahahaha not!sorry!

[swellter]

[ How do you see a part of someone?

Wait-- When they invaded the school? He's talking about the U.S.J. incident. Was one of those villains his dad?

Wait a minute... A part of him? He starts connecting the dots and his eyes widen at the realization. ]

Kurogiri is your father?!

lmao it's all good! Poor Shoto's brain.

[comecatchthesehands]

[Christ, no. Even if there hadn't been an admission at home and an admission here, Shigaraki would've believed these two were brothers anyway. They're both as fucking dumb as each other.]

...

[Okay well technically he isn't wrong. Kurogiri did have a hand in raising him for quite a number of his years.]

No. He isn't.
Out of unrelated curiosity, when you breathe out, what comes after?

You don't want to know what other dots he's connected.... >_>

[swellter]

[ What... but it makes so much sense. Why else would he risk life and limb to save him all the time with his warp gate? Kurogiri was always the lynchpin in all their plans. The one they couldn't get around. ]

Then who is?

[ He's coming up blank trying to figure out else who else it could be. Maybe that's why he doesn't pay attention to his next question, answering without much thought. ]

Steam sometimes or frost.

Or do I

[comecatchthesehands]

The hand on my face.

[Except the hand that's on his face right now is his own. Jesus Christ please let both of these men get kicked hard enough in the balls they never procreate. Never mind he's going to destroy the world just to make sure this doesn't happen.]

That's what I thought.

... I mean, if you don't mind brain bleach, go ahead.

[swellter]

[ The hand on his face... He would stare if he wasn't blind and this wasn't audio. Still, why did he cover his face with his father's hand? ]

Why do you blind yourself with his hand?

Hit me with it!

[comecatchthesehands]

They were gifts. Reminders that no one could treat me like he did, or like your "Father" did. like I said, family doesn't make you entitled to anything.

[swellter]

[ He never cared how he was treated but how his mother was mistreated. Maybe that’s why Shigaraki’s statement has little chance of landing with him, who had spent the last year navigating the hurt and pain that clung to his family like a ghost of old to better understand them. Be with them. And although, he hadn’t forgiven Enji Todoroki, he also didn’t hate him, not anymore. ]

I know that already.

[ Born the golden child of the Todoroki estate, all he had to show for it was a lifetime of isolation, kept separate from the only thing he ever wanted - his family. ]

[comecatchthesehands]

[Time to find out how much of a 'do the opposite' person Shoto is, too.]

Good. Then take the L and leave him alone before you gain aggro that your friends might have to pick up the DPS check for. Do you understand me?

[swellter]

No.

[comecatchthesehands]

You're going to piss him off. Your dogooder friends seem to forget that we're all in this tiny boat and that sometimes it isn't us provoking the issues.

[swellter]

[ …. ]

Are you saying I provoke him?

[comecatchthesehands]

Mmh. How am I supposed to know? All I know is you can push someone away by pissing them off with shit they despise.

But.

I'm not heartless. If you help me, I'll help you.

[swellter]

Help you with what?

[comecatchthesehands]

How should I know right now? I'm trying to throw you a bone because I sympathize with the shit your family went through.

You want to know your brother? If I call, answer and help. I'll help you to spend more time with him whenever I can.

[swellter]

[ I’ll help you spend more time with him. Now, he understands. ]

He doesn’t talk to you about me, does he.

[comecatchthesehands]

Yeah. We have.

[swellter]

Then, you’d know I don’t need your help to see him.

[comecatchthesehands]

I didn't say 'see him', did I? Anyone with eyes can see him. Pay attention to what I'm saying, you're the one that contacted me, not the other way around.

[swellter]

Touya likes to hide in alleys at night. He’s not easy to spot with his costume.

[ But that’s beside the point. ]

We speak in person.

[comecatchthesehands]

You're just trying to piss me off now. Call me back when you want to take being in your brother's daily life seriously.

[Which is what this hanging up noise is.]

[swellter]

Did I provoke him?

[ He asks Kizu with a puzzled look before the little omen cuts off the feed to gnaw on his boots. ]
