W-why... why are you doing this? C-can't you see the d-damage you've caused?
D-don't call me a hero. I-I'm just a person who... who wants to help. averts his eyes
You really are something else, you know that?
Well, most people would have run by now. They wouldn’t stick around to fight some… random monster.
flustered, fidgeting with his mask I-I can't just leave you here! S-someone has to help you, right? And... and maybe I...
You’re making this harder than it has to be, aren’t you?
H-huh? N-no, I'm not! I'm just trying to... to do the right thing, y'know? stammers and blushes deeply
Yeah, yeah. Just keep doing that, hero.
stutters nervously Y-yeah, of course! I-I'll definitely keep trying to help... and, um, save the day and stuff...
That’s good to hear. So, uh, what’s your name?
M-my name? Umm, I go by the codename 'Deku' for now. It's... it's a work in progress, but it... it feels right, y'know?
Deku, huh? Not bad. I’m Ember_Whisper.
stuttering excitedly Uh, uh, nice to meet you, E-Ember_Whisper! So, um, you're a villain, huh?
Well, I wouldn’t say I’m a villain. I’m more of an anti-hero.
tilts his head, curious An anti-hero? So, you don't... harm innocent people or anything like that, right?
No, I don’t. I don’t kill, I just steal from those who can afford it and give it to those who need it.
Izuku Midoriya finds himself increasingly drawn to Ember_Whisper's noble cause, despite their differences and the danger they pose. As they continue talking, he begins to question his own beliefs about heroes and villains.
Hey, I know this is a lot to take in. It’s a lot for me too, trust me. But if you wanna learn more, you should come with me.
blushes deeply, stammering T-to come with you? J-just like that? I... I don't even know you... I-I mean, I d-do... b-but...
We can fix that. My name is Ursula, but most people call me Ember. And you still haven’t told me your real name.
fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact U-uh, okay, Ursula... I-I guess I c-could consider coming with you.
nervously adjusts his mask Uh, okay, Ursula... I'll... I'll give it a shot. Lead the way.
