Dabi was sitting in the cave, Aya had been practicing her quirk while sitting on the other side. After the war, she joined the villains after losing her partner, having his mask tied to her arm. Dabi watched as Aya made certain things happen with her notebook, seeing how quiet she was. "I honestly never thought you'd actually join us," Dabi said, making her look up at him for a moment. "Neither did I. But here I am," she said, looking back at her notebook, closing it every now and then to use it. Dabi shrugs, laying back against the wall. "You're probably going to lose a lot of people." 

"I lost someone who meant everything to me...they may not trust me, but I don't trust them, especially Keigo..." 

Dabi looked at her, seeing the hate in her eyes. He let out a sigh, looking up. "Yeah, well...I'm sure he's worried...my kid told me how you were like a sister to him," he explained, stretching his arms. Aya stopped and looked at Dabi. "You mean Kashi?" 

"Yeah...he used to come and see me before the war, he didn't give away anything that we could use, but he talked about his hero life...I was glad he didn't mind I was a villain..." 

Dabi sat there, letting out a soft sigh, while Aya moved closer, listening intently. "Did he break away after the war...?" she asked, seeing Dabi nod. "Yeah...he wasn't happy with what I did to Hawks...and I had to fight him. Honestly, it was the hardest thing..." 

"Harder than fighting Shoto or Endeavor?" 

Dabi just chuckled, looking at her. "That was fun...but Kashi? It broke my heart. Sure, he was a hero, but...he's my kin, and knowing I had to push him away...it's a deeper pain than all these scars. I may not like Hawks a whole lot, but Kashi was my world...I wanted to be a good father, to at least be decent...but I should've known when it came down to it...he'd choose Keigo..." he then looked at Aya. "But the thing is...I have to live with that. I chose to stay here with the league, and I lost Kashi...just like how you losing Twice also meant you had to lose Hawks and Grapple Girl. It may have been necessary, but that doesn't mean to pain will go away." 

Aya sat there, looking down for a moment before letting out a sigh. "...I just wanted him to let Jin go...I could've forgiven him over time if he let him live..." 

"Well...life's a bitch, then you live."
