post war dabi being put under house arrest with the todorokis in the new home (minues endeavor ofc). doesn't really interact with anyone. he ends up reluctantly tagging along to go to the old house to get some more things (under supervision with now-Pro Hero Shouto) while enji's out. there's honestly not a lot of touya's personal effects, nothing that he cares for anyway, so he just dismisses shouto when he asks if there's anything touya wants to bring back. 'till the end, anyway, when he suddenly requests they bring back the altar his family set up after he "died." shouto tells him he can't set it on fire in the house and touya snaps back that he's not gonna burn it and shouto agrees (though he's lowkey sus lmfao). touya keeps his promise and doesn't burn the altar but he does take everything that endeavor put on, including the picture of himself that makes him sick to look at) and chucks it out the window to burn that shit later. endeavor balks when he finds out they took that thing and that touya specifically wanted it brought back.
anyway. touya keeps it in a room adjacent to his, bare. won't let anyone touch it. forbids anyone from entering the room (and they relent, because they're trying to make things work). touya does light incense, but not much else. fuyumi mindlessly wanders in there one day when thinking about what to do, realizes where she is, and goes to duck out before touya sees her when she notices a torn and beaten up cigarettes, with a smattering of scarlet across the front.
she mentions it to her siblings later. shouto remembers reading through reports, documents from the PLF ranging from top tier secrets to grocery budgets. he remembers reading through pages listing specific requests from the original league. he'd read it with earnest because he'd wanted to find out what his brother requested (not a whole lot, as he found out, definitely nothing interesting). he asks his sister if they were american spirits and fuyumi is rapidblinking.gif and confirms it.
shouto starts searching around but he finds out that twice didn't have any family and not a lot to his name. all he can do is grab a picture from the internet, an old picture taken years ago after some sort of motorcycle accident. he prints it and puts it in a frame, sets it where touya's picture one sat.
touya never says anything. doesn't mention it, doesn't get angry at the intrusion. but when shouto peeks into the room days later, he finds incense still lit and bubaigawara's picture still there.
