Hey. Remember what I said when Shigaraki made swiss cheese outta me? 'Stop trying to with this on your own.' But I had more to say. I needed to tell you that I got stabbed cuz my body moved on its own.
You know, I always looked down on you cuz you were quirkless. You were s'posed to be beneath me...
...But I kept feeling like you were above me.
I hated it. I couldn't bear to look at you. I couldn't accept you the way you were. So I kept you at arm's length and bullied you. I tried to act all superior by rejecting you...
...But I kept losing that fight. Ever since we got into U.A....
...Nothing's worked out how I thought it would. Instead, this past year has forced me to understand your strength and my weakness.
Now I don't expect this to change a thing between us, but I gotta speak...
...My truth.
Izuku...
I'm sorry for everything.
There's nothing wrong with the path you've been walking down since inheriting One For All and following All Might's lead.
But now... You're barely standing. And those ideals alone ain't enough to get you over the wall your facing.
We're here to step in when you can't handle everything on your own. Because to live up to those ideals and surpass All Might...
...We gotta save you, the civilians at U.A., and the people on the streets. Because saving people is how we win.
We get it."
