That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

yeah yeah, mom's watchin with a finger on the morphine button.

[flashfirefist]

Good.

You're very talented, but you push yourself too hard.

[As Enji does, so he's speaking from experience.]

[burnitblack]

who's fault is that?

[guess who still refuses to accept (most) responsibility.]

[flashfirefist]

I'm not saying anything's your fault. It's a known characteristic.

[He's not trying to start an argument. He worries. Having lost Toya before...]

If you need anything from me, let me know.

[burnitblack]

[that gets a pause. mostly because enji didn't rise to the bait and the acknowledgement/compliment puts touya on his heels.

tch, his old man's getting better at this...]

the ice kinda goes out of control.

[flashfirefist]

I understand. Where ice itself is concerned, I have little experience, of course. I'm sure it'll take time and patience. And practice.

Shouto is the best person to help you.

[burnitblack]

i told all for one i'm never gonna be trained by anyone else.

except you.

and i ain't plannin on goin back on that now.

[flashfirefist]

I see.

I understand.

Surely you can accept some help from your brother. It doesn't have to be training, per se. He can give you advice.

[burnitblack]

he's already tried when i was in bed. keeps offerin now that i'm out.

it's weird he's so eager to know me. the "me" he wants to know died a long time ago.

[flashfirefist]

That sounds like Shouto.

He's your brother. He cares about you. He wants to know who you are now.

[burnitblack]

he knows who i am now. i've been all over the news. haven't made it a secret since that day.

[flashfirefist]

You know very well that that isn't the same as knowing you personally.

[burnitblack]

just sayin he ain't gonna like what he sees. i'm not like all his little hero friends at school.

[flashfirefist]

I can't really speak for Shouto, but I can guess that he knows that already.

[burnitblack]

he can be pretty dense and stubborn about stuff. wonder where he gets it from.

[flashfirefist]

Yes, I wonder. It's a mystery.

[He can be sarcastic, too.]

He's also kind. And understanding.

[burnitblack]

cute. ya know how to be a smartass.

anyways, not sure if feel comfortable gettin "trained" by my replacement.

[flashfirefist]

Not as well as you do.

Again, he's not your replacement.

[burnitblack]

i'm better than you in a lotta things.

then why was he created, endeavor?

[flashfirefist]

I don't deny it.

You're not replaceable.

[burnitblack]

why was he created, endeavor?

[flashfirefist]

Touya.

I was trying to achieve a certain result, yes. I know very well how foolish that was.

[burnitblack]

WHY WAS THAT FUCKING BRAT CREATED
SAY IT TO MY FACE YOU COWARD

[flashfirefist]

Touya, I don't want to upset you.
I'm concerned about your health!

We both know what I was trying to do.
It wasn't a matter of replacing you but achieving my foolish goal!

[burnitblack]

THEN SAY IT
STOP FUCKING HIDING AND SAY IT
YOU REPLACED ME
TWICE
