*Deku was sent on a mission to catch a villain- this villain wasn’t just any villain though, he was a murderer. Nobody knew his real identity. They just knew what his mask and clothes looked like. Izuku had to go to the poor part of Japan since that’s where the villain killed most of his victims. Maybe it was because the poor people were defenseless? Who knows.
While the greenette was on patrol in one of the neighborhoods he noticed how pretty much empty the homes were. There were children running around, playing, they were all dirty and didn’t wear shoes. The parents were either at work or taking care of children that couldn’t take care of themselves- such as infants or the weak sick kids. The rest of the kids got kicked out for the day while it was sunny, their parents didn’t want to deal with their chaotic energy. A lot of the children didn’t go to school because they were either too poor or just didn’t want to go, and they weren’t forced to go anyway.
So as he walked down the path a group of boys, around 11 or 10 years old ran past him, all roughhousing and playing around, a small little girl ran after them, whining that they weren’t being fair. that young child was you.
