Frreal I didn't think I'd have to even explain but dabi living doesn't mean him forgiving his family and accepting everything that happened to him. How did people get that idea I'm still not sure but it's supposed to be about how living is greater suffering than dying. It's about living and continuing to remind the world of that anger, existing to expose the ugly truth. Being a bit triggered is necessary, he's been trying to escape those negative emotions for a while. Healing isn't that smooth nor easy. It's always a bit ugly. That's why he says he would've wanted to butt heads with his family sooner, before he became a killer. You get that? He's finally regretting it just a little bit.

He has every right to be angry especially at his dad who did ruin his life while also realising the murders he did to avenge it weren't the right way. Dying is easy, it's what he wanted from the start, it would mean this is the fate those with atypical quirks deserve and since dabi is a case especially publicised in their world what kind of message would that even send? Death over disability, no? Those who want him dead are actually dehumanizing dabi just as much as he's dehumanizing himself.

I actually want to see him battling his suicidal thoughts like he was in the moments Shoto came back and he finally sees him as not a masterpiece puppet but as a crying little kid much like himself. Realising he was detaching himself from reality and he really did care about the league and to some extent his family too. I want to see the remaining members of the league reuniting and surprised they all survived. Life might be bleak but it's worth it to try again, no? This time they're not alone anymore.
