Why do I love Touya so much? He is the best example of what parents' neglect can do with a kid.
He was such a bright cheerful boy, but the way his father treated him made the kid think that he is a 'failure', that he is just... a bad result of some sort of experiment.
Enji was the reason Touya started seeing himself as a 'failed creation'.
Again
and again
the life constantly showed him that he is, actually, unimportant. That he is a shadow that can be easily left behind.
But... Touya was never a shadow.
He was a flame.
A flame of hatred, grief
and pain.
Pain that, as he thought, will never end.
.... until his fight with Shouto.
Shouto is a hero Touya needed this whole time since he was a kid. I believe Shouto can help his brother, I really do.
