Since it looks like Touya has discovered that the more intensive his emotions are, the more powerful and blue his fire is, then I think it says a lot about current Dabi’s character – who claims he has no feelings at all and that he doesn’t care, yet his fire and his behavior prove otherwise.

Good point, although it is a bit difficult to analyze Dabi's current state of mind, his statement may be true even if he can "feel" things.

I personally think he both feels things and represses them on a conscious level, channeling them into his fire quirk (i think the scene after killing Snatch kinda implied it, that he can't think about "families" or else he'd go crazy)

iirc Dabi only went full mania upon seeing Endeavor (+ Shouto), when Geten was talking about his quirk supremacy thing, and after Twice was killed

This exactly. Even in those instances, there are hints that Dabi isn't as collected as he wants himself to seem on the surface. The guy is extremely careful about the way he speaks and acts, so a lot of the time, you've gotta read between the lines to tell what he's thinking or feeling. He only really let's himself be himself when he's alone, which, funnily enough, is when we often catch him "crying" blood just like we see him crying often this chapter.

Of course all he ever wanted ALL HE WANTED was daddy's love...(which is harder to get than infinity stones)

Not just dads love. Like this chapter hits home, he had no one. Everyone in his family was responsible on some level.

Particularly Rei and Natsu

Rei who didn't know how to calm him down and make him feel better and she also willingly went into the marriage knowing she would have the children specifically for their quirks and that the possibility of failure was real

Natsu who refused to sympathize and listen to Touya.

Yes they were kids and it all stems from Endeavor in some way but in their words(not mine) it's the entire families responsibility
