  Summary

  Shoto held the purest heritage of the Todoroki name scarred on his skin while Hitoshi had to claw his way up to get half of what was handed to Todoroki. And, when past confronts future, a rivalry that did not entirely belong to them seems to get in their way.

  Legacy: something that is a part of your history or that remains from an earlier time.
  Todoroki thinks its a curse.
  Shinso thinks its an honor.
