[ Shoulders stiff and jaw tense for a moment, Shouto takes a deep breath and reaches to take a manila folder from under his right arm, approaching Izuku's desk to deposit it in front of him. Inside are the details of numerous medical reports, signed off for disclosure by various doctors as well as Shouto himself.
And his mother, in some cases.
Others are reports from neighbors of the Todoroki household, as closed off as that neighborhood was, or sidekicks and minor heroes that worked under Endeavor for brief periods, for internships and training. All of them detail years of the horrible personality that Todoroki Enji sports, nevermind the actions that he's kept swept under a rug and hidden like skeletons in his closet. ]
My sister and one of my brothers have also agreed to talk to you, if you wanted to get more information from them.
[Izuku looks at Shouto for a moment before opening up the folder, eyes hardening at the information. Shouto doesn't deserve this- no child deserves to be treated this way.
He feels his jaw clenching as he continues soldiering through reports, the documentation. How did nobody catch onto this terrible personality earlier. Just because somebody does their job doesn't mean their every action should be swept under the rug.]
Thank you for bringing these. ... Would you like to give a first hand account while you're here?
[ Folding his arms behind his back, Shouto waits patiently for Izuku to go through the reports and documents. The doctor who saw to his injuries when his mother scalded him, the various doctors that were called in when Endeavor had pushed him too far, the surgeon who'd mended the break in his arm when he was in middle school and it couldn't simply be taken care of on the Todoroki property.
Neighbors reporting on domestic disturbances. His mother's psychiatric reports for the first few years of her hospitalization, the only things with her signature on them.
He inclines his head slightly when Izuku addresses him again. ]
So long as you understand I can't disclose any further information about my mother's condition, and won't give you her current residence, I'd be happy to give you a full interview. [ It's said in a tone that implies he's saying it simply to put it on the record, rather than it being directed specifically to Izuku. To cover all bases. ]
[Todoroki Shouto does not deserve the history that fate has given him. He looks at the man before him, kind and heroic, and wonders how he managed when his life was so full of injuries.
Injuries he didn't even need to take- there's no way a young Shouto would be injured like this by anybody except for Endeavor. There were no villains that were reported as coming after him.
While Izuku never liked Endeavor, there's something bone chilling about knowing nobody stopped this kind of abuse.]
Of course. She deserves her privacy and it should be her choice if she wants to comment.
Please, take a seat.
[Izuku's pulling out a recording device. He's not sure how long he'll be here, and if he needs to review something later, this is his best bet.]
Do you want tea? Water? [This could be a long interview, is what he's implying.]
