[She flinches, visibly, and Ochako lowers her communicator a little as her lower lip trembles. That's not what she expected, or hoped to hear. She wants to believe he's lying, putting on some sort of stupid front, but she knows better. There's quiet, for a long moment, broken by tiny, stifled gasps, as Ochako curls tightly into herself and tries not to cry.
Because he's right. Deep in her heart, Ochako knows Bakugo is right, but she hates it. He's right - the kinds of Villains in the League don't care about her moral code. They'll kill, and they'll hurt, anyone and everyone, and yet...and yet--]
We're not...supposed to kill anyone. Heroes don't kill. [She swallows the lump in her throat, biting her bottom lip as she takes a deep breath. ...No. No, she won't let him get the better of her. Even if Bakugo may be right, she won't let him change her mind.] A-And it's not about being weak, Bakugo-kun, it's about following the law.
And what we were taught.
If there's no other choice, then I...I-I understand, but don't... [She inhales, then exhales slowly, raising her communicator back to snarl back at him. Ochako wipes the corner of her eye with a thumb, resolve hard and unshakable, like a mountain in a howling storm.] Do not talk so brazenly about killing someone.
