Helena by My Chemical Romance fits perfectly the Todorokis dynamic with Dabi :( look:
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
These are but quiet, mournful whispers from Rei. The music's barely there and you can feel both the distance and her resolution. It's the rawness of the words, the haunting echo. She's watching her son not only being suicidal again, but he's attempting to bring her whole family down with him.
He's not their old Toya, kid Toya anymore.
Burning on
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
Here you can listen to Enji's shock and disbelief, the way the world fall apart over him, raining like ashes. He keeps on burning and burning but he can't do but stare at this— this killer, this perfectly alive Toya who's dancing while proclaiming he's doing whatever it takes to make him suffer. Even if it hurts his siblings, he doesn't care.
They burn and burn and burn.
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break? (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Natsuo's genuinely heartbroken upon discovering the things Toya has done, the person he has now become. It sounds like an accusation and a prayer, like Shoto trying to understand the reason behind his brother's choices, trying to reach his heart.
They echoed each other, balancing over the line between hope (mayhe he can come back home) and anguish (maybe we are too late to save him).
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long, not goodnight
Fuyumi is the one who can't believe that easily. He loves her brother Toya, but is that her brother or the monster his wounds made out of his corpse?
There's strength in there. You feel the guitar in your chest, steady. A decision, taken not without pain, but a decision nonetheless. The farwell is said twice, voice breaking in the goodnight. It's as many times as she's watched him take the path that leads to his demise, his destruction.
Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you gave has made a difference for people. The support and love you've offered others has made someone's day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You are not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.
If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
despite staff's recent changes, we're... winning??????

New to this update:
Chapter Three is partially complete. The title is redacted because of what happens in the second half of the chapter, and it’s ~spoilery~
Depending on your choices, you’ll get to (officially) meet at least two new characters. Fun!
Additionally, people with a very poor relationship with K Delacroix no longer get the option to ride with them to the funeral at the end of Chapter 2. Sorry, I mulled it over and just couldn’t see them willing to do it.
The option to simp for K Delacroix in early part of Chapter 2 has also, ahem, been dialled down. A new conversation with them was also introduced.
Additional notes:
I’m really sorry for the delay in the update! Motivation was a fickle thing, and time was also limited. I’d already started writing the second half of Chapter 3, but as I’m not a linear writer, they’re still in disconnected bits and pieces so I decided to put out the first half for now.

At Prince Leopold University you are expected to be the best because remember the best are made not born and you are expected to get good or get lost.
Play as a scholarship student at Prince Leopold University attempt to balance attending classes, make rivals, meet lifelong friends and pursue budding romances all the while dealing with the administration of a major university. Or don't.
Getting a place in PLU is hard, getting a full scholarship is harder. You did both. So perhaps it's no wonder why everyone seems to have such high expectations for you, expected to maintain passing grades, attend your club and be a forward face for the school, it's not like it's anything you haven't done before right? But can you pull it off again?
• Play as male, female or non-binary with options to be straight, gay, asexual or not pursue a romance at all.
• Experience a university that takes itself a little too seriously and expects you to do so as well – define your main character's personality, appearance, history and demeanour.
• Choose what scholarship you're on and which club you're in while training and playing like your scholarships on the line – because it is.
• Choose from track and field, music club, student council and drama club.
• Romance a hot-headed high-school rival, the brooding lead musician, the friendly student president who happens to be your brother's best friend, the charming but distant actor or your awkward roommate.
• Focus on or ignore your relationships with your teammates, acquaintances, family and friends back home, school staff and the public.
Aqil/Aaliyah Radwan: A
(m/f), 19
The Rival
Talented, proud, competitive, irritating, insuffera- the vice-captain of the Prince Leopold Track-and-Field Team seems to not have any time for anyone but when it seems like they might be running out of your life they always slow down.
Enemies to Rivals to Lovers
Hader/Hetti Jasanoff: H
(m/f), 20
The Musician
Intense, passionate, moody, the leader of the Prince Leopold Music Club and Screaming Diamonds, they seem to be affronted by those who treat their dream like a hobby but when they catch you staring as they sing, they find that their heart skips a beat.
The Misunderstood Bad Boy
Beck/Belle Torres: B
(m/f), 21
The President
Social, spirited and helpful, the President of the Student Body would be perfect if you could just forget that they are your brother's best friend. With a habit of prioritising others over themselves and burying their feelings for someone else's sake, they have to ask themselves? Are they willing to bury their feelings for you?
Boy/Girl Next Door, Brother's Best Friend
Frédéric 'Fred'/Frederica 'Freddie' Jame: F
(m/f), 21
The Actor
Charming, flirty and distant, the lead of the school's production and member of the drama club is rather pleasant to be around besides the fact you know nothing about them but as you both get further into your characters they seem to be content to hide their feelings deeper in their lines.
The Guy Who's Been Hurt Before, The Girl Who Doesn't Believe In Love
Rudra/Rania Punyamurthula: R
(m/f), 18
The Roommate
Awkward, excitable and smart, your roommate for this year is far too busy getting a good education for any clubs but when they are at every match, competition or performance you need to ask yourself? That's far too much for just a coincidence, right?
The Rich Boy/Girl, Forbidden Love, First Love
Attend the prestigious Prince Leopold University located on the eponymous Prince Leopold Island known for it's college town, thriving economy, night life, academic and extracurricular excellence.
