Is that his fate? If he's headed for a future that bloody...
The words of his mother concerned him at the time, but it's not himself he thinks about now. He looks at the spot where Paul has slipped his paper away. (It's not good when Paul of all people fidgets. He wants to take his hand, but this is a conversation of steel.)
He leans forward in his seat. He's well aware Kaworu saw battle before his time in Trench. He remembers the first conversation he and All Might had about All For One a year ago. He accepted everything without question. Midoriya did not expect Paul to be carefully picking apart questions of morality like petals. Is it for Midoriya's sake? His own?
"You don't need to..." he starts saying to Paul, then stops, not sure how to put it into words. "Killing is killing. It means someone who couldn't be saved. I don't want that kind of cruel world for either of you. They might just be memories, but I don't want you to forget yourselves."
He briefly curls his left hand into a crescent and crooks his thumb and ring fingers, just as Paul showed him. He can't otherwise reference the circumstances he learned it under.
