Final Chapter - A very long road, but we're finally here

Enji could hear the sound the tippy tappy sound of a child running down the veranda. 

"Grandpa." Two year old Kanon found Enji. She plopped herself onto his lap because she was tired from all the walking around trying to find him. She's Todoroki Shouto and Michiyo's child. She looked like a mini version of Michiyo, she's super adorable, love to eat, and she's very attached to her grandparents who often take care of her while her parents worked. Why not leave her with Ichinose? Because Ichinose couldn't trust himself alone with Kanon because the last time she was left alone with him, she learnt a lot of bad words. Kanon's allowed to be with Ichinose but only if Michiyo's there. She's not lonely because her grandparents dote on her, especially Enji. "Kuzumochi." The reason why she looked for him was because knew she could get endless snack if she asked him for it. 

"I'll get you some in a bit." She had some earlier but whatever she wanted, he will get it for her. Right now, Enji was silently talking to Touya. As a retired Hero, he spent his days reflecting on himself and talking with Touya in front of the altar. As a grandparent, he looked after Kanon with Rei.

Kanon looked at the altar. It's Touya's altar. The picture from the old altar was there along with pictures of when he had black hair and then white hair were there too. There wasn't a picture of him from the five years in the hospital because the family and Michiyo wanted to remember the him before his extreme change in appearance after the war. 

"What's wrong? Why is your face red?" Enji touched her forehead. Was she ill?

"Uncle Touya handsome~." 

"I see. You are just like your mother." 'It will be worrying if she start bringing home handsome boys one day. I don't know if Shouto will be able to intimidate the boys away so I guess I will need to be the one to keep them away.' Enji thought to himself. In that regard, he and Michiyo's guardian, Ichinose, get along very well especially when they talk about how to deal with boys trying to get close to Kanon. 

Rei came into the room holding a tray with plates of kuzumochi. 

"Grandma~." Kanon pushed herself off Enji's lap and and she affectionately hugged Rei's leg. When Rei sat on her knees, she allowed Kanon to choose a plate. All plates had three pieces of kuzumochis on there but she liked to grab the one she liked. She finally grabbed a plate and she happily showed it to Enji.  "Grandpa, kuzumochi~." 

Seeing she's so adorable, how could you not give her extra snacks?! "You can have Grandpa's share." 

"Wow, really?!" 

"Wait, that's too much. She won't have dinner if you give her yours now." Rei had to remind Enji to hold back on the spoiling!

"We're here." Todoroki's voice could be heard. 

"Kanon, have you been a good girl?" Michiyo and Todoroki had returned. They finished with work early because they had dinner reservation tonight. 1-A will reunite as a class and they plan to take Kanon along. 

"Mama, Papa~!" Kanon wanted to run over to her parents but she had snacks and she was afraid Enji will eat her snack. He won't really eat it but because she will eat snacks people leave behind so she thought everyone will do the same to her too. But if she chose to run with it, she might drop it. "I eat." 

"...?!" Michiyo and Todoroki took damage! Their daughter chose to eat her snacks over hugging them! 

They could have had a babysitter to watch over Kanon while they worked but Michiyo insisted on having Kanon connect with her grandparents. Todoroki wasn't sure of it at first but Michiyo believed change could only happen if people face generational trauma with the resolution to change it when it was possible for the first step to be taken. Todoroki gave her so much courage so she gave him lots of courage in return. The Todoroki family couldn't be happy back then but maybe it could be better starting with Todoroki Kanon.
