[It's that sharp look in Shigaraki's eye that has Izuku tensing. He almost clenches his fists again. Almost gets ready to pounce on the man and fight him until someone- something- submits. In his heart, he knows that a man as dangerous as Shigaraki shouldn't be allowed to just walk around. In any world. But The part of his heart that had realized that maybe there is something more to Shigaraki than most people think is the thing that makes Izuku's ears ring with a high-pitched noise in his head.

If only he had the voices of his predecessors here to help him now. What would they say?

And for all the things that Shigaraki says to him right now Izuku really almost takes it all to heart and throws himself at the man. Almost. But he doesn't. Not after everything he's been through and what he's talked to Katsuki about in passing.

This isn't the time- they're not ready.]

You can say what you want to me, it doesn't change what the truth actually is. There is something that we both know about each other- And something that isn't resolved either. I think you know that. If you want to call yourself dangerous or not is your own words, not mine.

[His expression changes, softens. That crossed tension is still in his heart but...]

And if you pick to act on your own words, just know I won't stand around for that. So turn your back if you want to.
