Hi. Do you think Shoto loves Touya? Or does he hate him?
Shouto certainly doesn't hate Touya (and I don't think Touya hates Shouto either). But I'm also not sure he knows him enough to love him.
He recognizes enough of himself in Touya and knows the background he came from enough to feel compassion and empathy for him. And Touya is loved by the people Shouto loves (Rei, Fuyumi, Natsuo), so that makes him important for Shouto too.
I think he's also feeling grief for the relationship he never got to have with his big brother and we did see how quickly Shouto started to love Natsuo, so I think if given a chance, Shouto will love Touya too.
