If we keep reaching out even when it’s none of our business, one day a hero’s job can end.
The thought ran through Izuku’s mind as he smiled alongside Ochako at a true display of heroism: An elderly woman taking the hand of someone in need and offering reassurance. If everyone could make a change and stop ignoring those in need, downtrodden by this unfair world, maybe the world could be a better place for everyone.
But ultimately, this wasn’t the truth. It just couldn’t be, and Izuku would never forget that fact. You can give your life away for the sake of others, give everything you have to save another, and it means nothing when their blood on your hands is all that remains.
Because people are not born equal. And he’d learned that hard truth at the age of four.
