He'll die still thinking he was right doing what he did. You know that. And I don't want him dead. I want him forgotten. I want to overtake him, and watch as everyone else in my generation passes him, too. I want him to realize that he didn't do anything at all, and that he was never anything more than a second-rate substitute number one for the five minutes it lasted.
[Yeah, he'll be gone, but what's the point if he dies thinking he'd done good? It was an infuriating thought, just like he was always so infuriating with his 'you'll appreciate what I did for you someday' attitude. No, he needs to realize that nothing he ever did mattered, that his children were better off without him, and even the world wouldn't miss him when he was gone.
But they can argue about that later. As long as he's staying. And he's not leaving. And Shouto's still waiting, blinking in surprise at Dabi's words before shaking his head and letting out a little huff that's not quite a laugh.]
I won't tell anyone if you won't.
[It's as close to a peace offering as he can get. He won't tell Fuyumi, or Natsuo. Even if he wants to. Not as long as Touya--Dabi--feels the way he does.]
