Bab 111: Chapter 111: The Stage is Set

---

Dabi sat quietly in the living room of his home, the faint morning light filtering through the windows.

His siblings, Eli and Mira, sat across from him, their faces brimming with excitement.

The National Ranking Tournament was only a few hours away, and it was all they could talk about since waking up.

Eli, the younger of the two, leaned forward eagerly. "Are we really going to see you and Fen fight today, big brother?" His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Mira chimed in, her voice filled with the same excitement. "And Whity and Nyx too, right? You've never shown us what they can really do outside of practice. This is going to be so cool!"

Dabi smiled at them, feeling a pang of affection. He had been training so hard these past few weeks, pushing himself to his limits, but his siblings were always his anchor.

They were his motivation to keep getting stronger, to protect them in a world that had taken so much from him already.
