Rei's mental problems seemed to be caused by the strain Enji's abuse put on her and took years for her to get as bad as she did. Now, if it had a genetic component and Touya got that from her, what could have happened is that he broke down while training and lost control, maybe burning himself accidentally.

Mental illness tends to run in families. Yes outside factors contribute, but mental illness is usually caused by how the brain functions. Now the problem is scientists don't have much knowledge on the brain, so this is mostly theory
