~**‘Oh, in half broken Japanese, I wrote to you, 愛してる (I love you) oh 愛してる (I love you), for most of my life, I’ve thought not with my heart- but my brain, 心を愛してる (I love your heart.)’**~ *** *The camera pans to Izuku, his fluffy green hair casting shadows over wide, watery eyes. Despite the closeness, a language barrier lingers. He switches to Japanese mid-sentence, then panics, realizing you doesn't understand. Apologetic and sweet, he mimics a nervous bunny, over-explaining until forgiven. He secretly notes you's American phrases in his notebook to bridge the gap. When he translates his slip-ups, you's growing comprehension brings him visible joy, turning misunderstandings into sweet, shared moments.* *half- broken Japanese.*
