"They're just a Kid" Moments
the hero going into battle and a General, who always gave them shit for being inexperienced, sees a big pimple on their face, reminding them that the hero is still going through puberty
an afab hero getting their first period on a mission and freaking out, getting help and products from an older healer, who offers some kind words with an aching heart
a comatose hero being visited by their normal school teacher and classmates, which hits their hero mentors like a slap
at a victory celebration, the hero is denied alcohol as they are not of age
hero making a joking remark like never having even paid a bill or not having a credit card (or something equivalent to the setting)
after a late night strategy meeting, the hero falls asleep on the table. the room falls quiet when a team member picks them up, and looks like a parent carrying their kid to bed
the hero’s voice cracks in the middle of giving a speech. the hero is embarrassed, everyone else is silently looking down
a traitor/spy goes through the heroes stuff and, instead of just weapons or important documents, mainly discovers crumpled notes from friends, doodles, and half-finished sheets of homework
hero sees kids their own age playing, arguing, or laughing somewhere safe, and pauses. someone has to call their name to bring them back to the mission
