[ A part of him almost wants to pass this case off onto someone else, as something in his chest constricts tight, like a vice lodged in his ribs. But Shouto has never backed down from a fight before, and he's done his best to put away truly awful people. It's not quite where he wanted to be, growing up. Not even a little bit. Is he still a hero, when he's almost as ruthless as his father?
Does he think Uraraka Ochako is guilty? She doesn't seem the type, but many people hide dark secrets that rarely ever come to light. And it's his job to do that, to shine that light.
Or that's what he tells himself. If he can unseat his old man as the best prosecutor, maybe it'll all be worth it in the end. ]
[He misses Shouto, his Shouto, his Shoucchan. The boy that he spent a year with, his best friend. But life is never as straightforward as he wishes. This wasn't the degree he thought he'd end up pursuing, but Todoroki thought he wanted to be a defense lawyer.
Life changes people.
Izuku takes a breath, locks his gaze with Shouto's and nods.]
I am.
[He knows Uraraka is innocent, and he's going to find the person who did it. If it means fighting Todoroki Shouto in court, then so be it.
Even if a small part of him wishes it was any other prosecutor.]
