After his little excursion, the white haired boy had gone into a vegetable state for four months. So when Hyoto had woken up, he felt overwhelmed with everything that was happening.

Shoto never left Hyoto's side. Natsuo was slowly becoming indifferent while Fuyumi tried to act the same. It was obvious she wasn't the same by the reflection of her eyes. Touya, the person that refused to see the twins and was by far the eldest, ran away.

Their father and mother changed. Enji became more aggressive and all Shoto and Hyoto would see from their mother would be crying because of all the arguments.
Hyoto was never allowed outside by his father and the youngest understood why and complied with his father's wishes but what was stressing Hyoto was that he was never allowed outside of his room except when having an escort.

Outside the house was a huge no. Just what had happened during the time he was asleep?
Soon it would be their birthday and the situation at home was not getting any better.

Everyone was tense and stressed. The atmosphere between the family was distant. Only Shoto and Hyoto were trying to keep their sanity together. The former spending time with both his mother and brother and the latter trying to keep his father and brother happy. Hyoto knew that he was slipping, his sanity was. Being jailed into his room was not helping either. He wanted to go out, he wanted to see the world, but for the sake of his family he would stay.

By the time he had turned five, everything was going down hill. Shoto spent less time with Hyoto and their mother all together stopped visiting Hyoto. Enji seemed to have forgotten about Hyoto. The remaining older siblings were busy with school.

The times the older twin went to visit Hyoto was when the younger twin would see Shoto's eyes and nose red, as if he had just finished crying. He would only have bruises on his body and Hyoto couldn't help but feel responsible. So he called for the head housemaid to escort him to his father's room, who fortunately was there, glaring down at him.

"What are you doing here and not inside your room?" He said and Hyoto could hear the bite in his tone.

"Papa, I want to train with my qui.."

"You are doing no such thing!"

Hyoto took few steps back, clearly startled by getting yelled at. What was driving his father so angry?

"I..." began softly, trying not to set off the man, "I want to be a doctor."

"You just stay in your room. You don't have to do a thing," the father dismissed and pushed Hyoto out of the room.

Stunned at how much Enji had changed, Hyoto could only stare blankly at the wall. Was he thrown out by his father?

The head maid, Tomoko, quietly ushered him to his room and he followed without question.

That night, Shoto and Hyoto were laying down on the futon and blankly looked at the ceiling. Shoto's eyes were dull while Hyoto's were still in shock.

"Nii-san," Hyoto whispered and the white-red haired boy spared the younger one a glance.

"What's wrong, Hyo-kun?" He also whispered. His voice was losing its any kind of emotion. It was starting to sound hollow, something that Hyoto could not really decipher at his young age.

"Is it my fault?"

The silence was loud and Shoto didn't know how to respond to that. He did have thoughts that it was all Hyoto's fault but he would not tell that to Hyoto. The white haired boy couldn't have expected this outcome. Hyoto was only 5 and his quirk had a severe backlash.

"I will get you some cocoa," Shoto said instead, standing up and left their shared room. Hyoto did not respond and kept looked at the blank ceiling.

It was until a large scream and a crash was heard made Hyoto stand to his feet and run out of the room. Just as he was nearing the kitchen, he saw his brother on the floor and and screaming in pain. Turquoise eyes then looked at a kettle on the floor near his brother. Enji was soon there with all the maids behind him. Fuyumi and Natsuo were quick to help Shoto. Grey and blue eyes met turquoise eyes that belong to the youngest of the family.

Suddenly the oldest twin's eyes formed into hating glare and growled out, "This is all your fault! If you just had not gone out that day! If you had chosen to stick for the hero that day! If you just... If you just didn't exist then none of this would of had happened!"

"Shoto!" Fuyumi gasped. Natsuo seemed to agree with such thought since he didn't say anything and look away, refusing to see his youngest brother and pulled Shoto away to get his eye treated. Fuyumi turned to give a worried glance at Hyoto but bit her lip and ran after her siblings. That alone was enough for Hyoto to understand. He was not welcomed and that he didn't bring happiness to this house anymore... like a true villain.
In a way, what Shoto said was true but in another, it made Hyoto burn in anger. He didn't ask to be given birth to. He didn't ask for any of this to happen and it hurt to be told such a thing, especially by his own brother. But that anger was quickly turned to his own self.

He should have gone straight home and not get sidetracked that day. He should have not allowed himself get kidnapped. He shouldn't have gone out of the house without his mother knowing. He knew he shouldn't have... but he didn't regret any of it.

He was sad that he was the cause of his family becoming broken. He finally understood the eyes of his mother when she looked at him. She looked at him as if he was a villain.
If they didn't want him home... if they didn't want him to exist... Hyoto didn't have a place here, not even in anyone's heart. The fire he needed had blown out like dumping a bucket of water on a candle and he couldn't mend something which was caused by him. Who would need him?

The snow white haired boy thought of Dabi and the boy who was in that building. Lost children... he could find a place to belong along the lost children. He could help heal both villains and heroes in the allies. A place to belong...

Hyoto believe that the people who needed to be saved the most were the villains but the obstructed view of this people would never comprehend his thought. A villain was a bad person and because a villain was a bad person, a villain should be punished.

Hyoto... was a villain within his own family. What could his punishment be?

"Go to your room, Hyoto," Enji said before leaving to his room.

The maids were helping Rei walk and since the entrance was on the path that Hyoto was standing in, the youngest one took this chance to stand in his mother's way. Rei looked out of it but Hyoto did not care and his left white flames burned cold in his hand. The fire burned and moved to dance around his mother's body as if it was trying hug her.

She gasped in terror but gasped again when she felt a familiarity to the flames. Recognizing the feeling that the flames feather her with, her eyes widened. She had not felt it since that day she had discovered that she was pregnant, she couldn't help but have eyes in despair as she look at her youngest son. She saw it in his eyes and in this body language. This was a good bye.

"H-Hyoto..." she whispered where everyone could hear some kind of realization but ignored. White flame died down and Hyoto turned around and left for his room. His body shook a little to which Rei was the only one who noticed.

"W-Wait! Hyoto!" Rei called out but the little boy did not stop. The mother tried to shake off the maids while trying to reach her baby but he was soon out of view.
———————————————
Shoto had calmed most of his anger after confronting his father but didn't want to share the room with his brother anymore. He was still feeling sour about his brother. His clothes were in their room so he chose to get them and asleep in another room. He slide open the door and found one familiar scene. He had only seen it once and he could feel the familiarity on it. The room was empty, the window open and the chair moved.

Only this time, there was a small note on the table. Shoto had gone ahead and picked it up. He read it and his hand slowly shook. He clasped his mouth in terror with his other hand.

"N... Nii-san!" Shoto shouted in terror. He let go of the note and ran back out of the room to look for his brother. The letter fell to the floor lifelessly just one would expect a nonliving thing to fall. In the note was written:
Nii-san,
Bye bye.
-Hyoto
