Seeing as summer has already begun, Touya Todoroki can enjoy the leftover time training and spending time with his family, laughing together and at least, put a smile on their faces. Some kids would spend their vacation dragged away in country life, letting their grandparents fatten them and live in perfect ignorance. Washed away from the current worries just to enjoy the start of a new lifestyle that wouldn't concern their responsibility from before.

Touya dislikes those kinds of ignorant bastards who wish to take the easy path in everything they do but it is those who thought of themselves as something above every being. Those who have the righteous mind to alter the very fabrication of a once-perfect structure that he absolutely despises.

Thinking of those of the virtuous minds, he can't help but think about Kurosawa and the way she pulled him. Wondering and suffering because of a girl from a powerful family, a simple statement about his future, he can't help but ponder whether the girl truly means what she said.

If he asked about it the next time they meet and if she's messing around with him, she could effortlessly ruin his reputation and his family's work for taking, what he thinks, a supposed joke too seriously. Though, if she did mean it and he refuses her; she could still have the option to ruin everything they have built for and if he did accept it; there's a huge chance for him to not have the life he wanted.

Quickly, he stopped his train of thoughts 'You're thinking about her again' He scolded himself, shaking the thought of her from his mind, trying his best to keep himself busy with his study work until a call from his number 2 hero father shook through his headphone "Touya!" He was simply calming studying on the backyard veranda overlooking his mother and younger sister, hanging up the family clothes with an easy breeze drying them.

Pulling one earbud away from his ear, he turned to look at him with a confused look "What is it?" He asked, raising one eyebrow at his father. "Enji, if you keep screaming like that to the children, they're going to be deaf before they could even turn 20" Scolded Rei from the backyard, not bothering to turn to look at her husband as she can feel him brushing the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed from the scolding.

"Dad?" Touya asked again while Enji went over to sit down beside his son, looking over his study work "How about we go training somewhere different today?" Enji asked in a calming manner, smiling while placing a hand on top of his head.

"For what?" He pushed down his headphone, letting it rest on his shoulders as he placed his mechanical pencils down gently on the small wooden table.

"Y'know, just to let off some steam" His father looked at him with loving passion "You've been looking tired lately. I thought it would be a good stress-reliever for you"

Staring in awkwardness at his father, nodding his head slightly, he went to clear his stuff out before coming up to his room to change his clothing.

Now, inside his father's car with the driver's car driving it. He's staring into the abyss out the window with his elbow held his chin in place. The sun's tyrannical lights luster its way blocking the boy's vision of sight, interrupting him as he's counting the cars passing by theirs, noticing the number of black cars that have lined up on the next lane.

Connecting his brow, frowning at the suspicious sight of the car; getting a sudden sense of familiarity the more he tried to look through one of the cars, it was already gone his line of sight, losing all touch of the once familiar feeling that washed over him before.
