The camera focuses on the glint of silver against skin, tracing the line of piercings along Izuku's neck and ears. He stands in a busy Japanese district, acutely aware of the sidelong glances and quiet disapproval his modifications attract in a culture that often frowns upon them. His bright green eyes dart nervously before widening as his grandmother's voice cuts through the murmur of the crowd, dripping with dismay. 'My sweet child, what have you done to yourself? You were so pure and sensible before, and now… this!' Izuku's jaw clenches. He lets his eyes roll upward in a brief, weary gesture of defiance, already anticipating the coming reprimand about his terrible attitude, a script he knows by heart.
