Is it a surprise to see that look in Midoriya's eyes?
Not really. Not when the Omen shares thoughts with Daniel, and he knows that the man has thought this sort of thing before. That Midoriya's world, Ochako's world-- it puts way too much responsibility on the shoulders of people who shouldn't have to carry it. Who should somehow be able to live more carefree lives.
This is the inevitable result of doing such a thing to such young minds.
"Sometimes the best thing you can do is take care of yourself first," the Omen says.
But no matter how stern the creature may come across with its calm, unflappable attitude, it moves closer to Midoriya now. Not in any intimidating way, but instead in a way that's much more dog-like despite its current more lion-like form - leaning in to lick Midoriya's face affectionately, very much the way a dog would.
"You are not alone," it says when it pulls back. "Remember that. Use it. Tell it to yourself whenever you feel like it is just your job to take care of everything. Burdens are shared among a community. This is the basis of society."
