[dabi remains silent as he listens to endeavor pondering over his son, his wife, his life. he never intended to be sitting here inadvertently helping the man he hated go through some of the mess in his life. there's no wallowing on endeavor's side, no tears or due penance. only a man who's coming to grips with the shit he's done and... what? trying to make amends, trying to figure out where he went wrong or what he could've done better to attempt at replicating those fixes now? he doesn't know, can't fathom what's going through endeavor's mind. it's not what dabi envisioned when he pondered his revenge. he wanted to see more of those broken faces when endeavor couldn't fight against ending, when dabi revealed himself as touya, when the man lay defeated and shattered in the hospital bed.
this? ... no.]
Cept he didn't. I saw him yell at you when you hit her. [after touya came back with his burns, leading endeavor to argue with his wife over him, resulting in the blow, shouto's yells, natsuo and fuyumi cowering in fear elsewhere as touya left the entire lot of them behind.] And he rejected you after you sent his mom away. [a soft chuckle lolls from his mouth.] I never would've rejected you. I would've walked into hell for ya.
[he thinks so little of endeavor's wife, despises his youngest child, all because they removed his father's attention from him. one by never standing up for him, the other by being more desirable. hates them both for those things and the other stains on his life they stand for.]
Dunno. I was dead before she broke. If ya really think she boiled Shouto's face cause she wanted to do it to you but couldn't...
... bfft-! Haha! That's fuckin hilarious! I'd've loved to've seen her throw a teapot at you!
[he didn't get to live with rei and the family while their mother slowly twisted into insanity. hearing endeavor mention it now is a first glimpse, but it's still funny. since he'd never really gotten the chance to talk to shouto about his burn, for obvious villain-related reasons + being dead at the time, he'd been curious about the cause behind it. did some digging to find out why she'd been committed and finally found out, but hearing it more or less confirmed? that's a nice piece of information for him to tuck away for a later date.]
Ya keep sayin ya don't know... ah forget it. We're just goin in circles now. S'no fun.
[he tosses back the last of his bento's top layers, but makes a face at the rice at the bottom. disgusting. dropping the bento onto the counter, he scoots away from it, not about to eat the rest. hates plain rice. not as much as he hates fish, but it's a good second place.]
But don't be too sore about the video. I damned myself in it as well. And at least I outed Hawks alongside ya. So ya didn't have to go to the press all by yourself. I'm sure plenty of other heroes have dirt and crimes they don't want the world knowing either. Should make another one...
[musing to himself, he glances up to catch endeavor looking at him in the reflection. dabi's eyes narrow at the stare and when enji's soften into regret, his only harden into determination. leaving endeavor to go searching, he stays in the chair, lingering in the darkness in thought. no, the place isn't that big, a small complex for the tower's support and some overnight stay. but as enji finds, there is a bathroom with a shower and there's a little bedroom tucked in the back for the worker or guard off shift.
dabi breaks from his thoughts at the question, then stands from the chair.]
There should be an extra area in here... Hang on.
[it takes him a while of searching, using his flames as light. but after a minute, he manages to locate the villains' hidden panel. a quick code entry and a section of the floor loosens before popping up. beneath is another chamber, bathroom, computer room, two beds, and an underground route to vanish from the outpost into the hills. other supplies linger down there, from a few bedding extras to batteries and dried foods. things to help an on-the-move villain lie low for the night, get a quick refresh and restock, then go on their way without being seen.]
We probably don't need to sleep down there. Unless someone shows up tonight.
[and if they have that kind of luck (or misfortune) they should immediately head to a casino to win big.]
