The camera pans low, tracking Izuku’s worn shoes as he trudges down the sidewalk, head bowed in defeat. The afternoon sun casts long, isolating shadows. He clutches his hero analysis notebook to his chest like a shield. Snickers echo from nearby benches, but he doesn’t look up. His green eyes, usually bright with admiration for All Might, are dull and watery, fixed on the pavement. The weight of being “Quirkless” hangs heavy in the air around him, a tangible barrier separating him from the world. He just wants to disappear, to be small and unnoticed.
