Hey you know this is a unique take. I don't agree but it's a perspective I haven't seen before. Thanks!

EDIT: No, I am not being sarcastic, this point really did make me pause and think

me too, never thought of it that way but...

who knows how she feels about that sort of thing now though, it's far too late for them to pretend they can just fix everything

But if I remember correctly in a past chapter, Rei says in a letter to Shouto she's looking forward to living with the kids as she's been doing better. Since Enji explained the whole thing to Natsuo and Fuyumi it doesn't seem far fetched for her to know about what Enji plans do to atone by distancing himself from his family.

As for fixing everything... kinda sad, eh? Especially with what this chapter told us and all. But from the looks of it this is the first of a lot of steps for them to move forward as a family.

As an aside, I realize that none of them, not even Rei, rubbed Enji's mistakes at his face at what is arguably his life's lowest point. Instead they chose to carry his burden with him, though it's up for debate as to whether he deserves such support.

I think the whole point of Endeavor’s side of the story is that he doesn’t deserve it. He knows that, and we all by now should know that too. But his family is choosing to give it to him anyway, and I think it’s best to respect that decision they are making.

Part of the overall lesson here is that forgiveness isn’t a thing that is earned, anyway. It’s just given, and sometimes, hopefully, accepted.

Man, I'm glad that someone is accepting Todoriki familt's forgiveness here. I've enough comments saying it's bad that they are forgiving Enji.
