In the same place Midoriya picked up and carried Paul and Kaworu upstairs while laughing, Paul acknowledges the possibility of being killed. Midoriya clutches we like a promise. He will not simply follow in Paul's wake. He will act.
Midoriya doesn't so much choose what comes over him as it chooses him. His eyes widen and he bares his blood-lined fangs. His claws tense at his sides. One For All remains unsummoned, save for the Danger Sense he keeps on at all times while here.
"No," he growls. "She hasn't killed you yet because I'm punishing you, not her." Punishing with what exactly, he's not sure how to articulate. "With all the hard things you have to do."
The world is shaded in grays, a blend of fear and anger. Forgiveness can be granted easily, too easily, but the path of trying to change, atone, and redeem is long and arduous. Midoriya has seen the start of the long road ahead before. If it's something he wants them to do, he's got to be there to watch and extend a helping hand. He will solidify this sunburst of thought more clearly later. Right now his head is clamoring with outside threats and how to keep people safe.
"She puts a finger on either of you, I make her stop," he says with the same cold vehemence he turned on Paul when he warned him not to interfere with his UA friends if he called them during a rescue. Needless to say, this goes for John as well.
