[Katsuki is really quiet when he listens to Cole. His anger slowly fading as he listens to his explanation of his thought process and why he's trying so hard to help. And the last thing he says? About how Katsuki was so excited to open a Hero agency and was so passionate about his dream? And how he doesn't want to see that dream damaged? It... really connects with him.
Because.. he is still Bakugo. Isn't he? Just... a different kind of Bakugo. And he's already come to terms with the fact that there's a billion different versions of him out there, so he'll just have to accept that he's a special flavour of Katsuki. The Limited Edition Halloween Version-- or something stupid like that.]
...you're right, Cole. I am still Bakugo Katsuki. And Bakugo Katsuki is known for being a Hero--- the best Hero. Without letting anything get in the way of that.
[Obviously it's going to be easy for him to sit here and say "I'm Bakugo and I'm going to make myself get over this", which is more or less what he's saying, but at the very least it's a start to him accepting this new life and adapting to it proper. Sometimes he just needs some radical acceptance, some forced ego, and he'll be good to go.]
I think... my biggest flaw right now is that I keep comparing myself to how I was before I got here. And holding myself to expectations and morals from home that don't really apply here.
I know we talked about how people with Villainous Quirks can be judged harshly for how they worked. There's... actually a Villain that's part of the group who kidnapped me with a vampire Quirk. I don't know much about her, but I do know people have judged her harshly because she needs to drink blood for her Quirk to work.
Hell... I judged her for it. I thought it was gross, and I thought that it fit a Villain perfectly. Like a T. And it didn't help that she was really violent and freaky about it.
[...now he's realizing this might be a big reason why he feels so much like a Villain.]
Maybe I've been scared to turn into her. ...I dunno.
