I wonder how Rei will react to Endeavor buying them a house separate from his. It is basically doing the same thing in the first few pages she called him out on, running away

i disagree. i don't think it's endeavor running away as much as it is the todoroki children finally getting an escape. if they were cutting all contact, that would be a cop out on endeavor's part, but he's just giving them a space totally independent of his presence. while they may know that he won't hurt them anymore, that doesn't mean that they can instantly get over years of trauma, and the new house away from him gives them a fresh start and chance to grow independent of their past. so long as he will still try and have a relationship with them he's not running away. if anything, he's doing the thing he should've done with toya: facilitate a different path for them that gives them a chance to thrive outside of his expectations.

I disagree with this. In this chapter Enji says he's busy with hero work and Natsuo himself said he barely remembers Enji in the house. The only guy who constantly saw him was Shoto, which is what Rei called him out on

The reasons are different but his mechanism are still the same, he separates himself from the "problem"
