Aizawa stands frozen, uncomprehending. He's supposed to be the one reassuring others, and even then he doesn't outright say it. He shows pride with a single word, a brush to the shoulder: subtlety is key. Clearly, the person in front of him has never learned that lesson. It's extremely uncomfortable to be here right now. He doesn't like compliments, never has, so why..?

Why is my chest so tight all of a sudden? I'm... Happy, but I feel like I'm going to cry, and I don't- I don't understand.
