W - wait, why are you apologizing...?

[ It's not like he's mad so much as confused... ]

[gothard]

I didn't-

[Do anything. Not when he should have. But that's not the appropriate answer now.

Kirishima drags a hand down his face.]

The connection. I caused it to break.

[defendure]

I mean - that's okay, Kirishima-kun, you don't need to force yourself! It's just, you were surprised, right?

[ By what they saw... ]

[gothard]

[Just surprise is an understatement, but he does nod all the same.]

Yeah.

[He sounds frustrated, even if it's just a memory.]

Guess you see now that I ain't the guy I once was. Kinda all talk, these days.

[defendure]

Um...

[ He sounds mostly confused, but...

Well, hadn't he been something like that, once? He'd been more talk than action. ]

Kirishima-kun, I don't think any of us are the people we once were. That's...part of being alive, and growing up, isn't it? I'm sure we all have times we're not proud of, but the important thing is to make sure we're people we can be proud of now...don't you think?

[gothard]

...yeah. No, you're right. I just...

[Mm.]

I guess it's just hard thinkin' that I could have ever been like that. Especially with how far I've gotten now.

[defendure]

I...know the feeling, but...I don't think you should feel ashamed of where you came from, Kirishima-kun. You wouldn't be who you are today without that past, you know? No one is perfect from the start...or even at the end.

[ They wouldn't be human if that were the case. ]

[gothard]

[Kirishima breathes a slow sigh, looking back up at the mechs they're expected to pilot once they get around to mastering this whole link they're having to do. Progress halted, at this rate.]

Did you struggle too, Midoriya? You've always seemed like you got everything together...or have some sort of plan for the way you want to get things done, yaknow?

[defendure]

I...well, I definitely did? My quirk came in...really late.

[ Since he never actually had "his own" quirk. ]

So for a long time, I didn't really know how becoming a hero would work.

[gothard]

[Yeah...Katsuki has griped about that to him in confidence before. About how Izuku was weak and wimpy but then his Quirk decided to finally show up.]

It's a lot more work than you think it'd be, even knowing it's gonna be a lot of work.

[defendure]

It is! And I feel like we're learning more about what's required every day...

[ You know, which is the point - ]

But...even so, it all still feels more than worth it.

[gothard]

Course it does. I mean...I guess none of us go into the hero business expectin' it to be easy, do we?

[Well...MOST of them don't.]

[defendure]

Pretty much...um, I'm not sure about Mineta-kun?

[ HE

HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS EASIER ]

[gothard]

[Kirishima isn't able to stop himself from snorting before it's become a rude response to that, oh no]

Heheh...okay, yeah, you got a point there I think.

[defendure]

[ LOOK, IT'S FINE... ]

But I think he's caught on now, so.
