“Is that so…?” At once, he begins to write, his pen scratching against paper as he takes in the information in realtime, his gaze never really leaving the Pro Hero’s face aside from the stray glance to ensure he was writing it down clearly.
“I suppose I find it most baffling that these such individuals would seemingly join together. Hero or not– what do you think of this kind of union? Should they be exterminated or simply… rehabilitated? They’ve caused your officials a considerable amount of grief for them to simply be placed in cells to rot.“ TOMOYASU shifts uncomfortably in the wooden chair, moving to cross the opposing leg over the other as they switch out, the sharp, unyielding curvature of his seat biting into thin thighs and pressing quite painfully against his tailbone.
“They claim to be subjugated by your society– do you believe that in enforcing these Quirk laws, that society has been divided into black and white? Even in the case of vigilantes, their work is publicly discouraged, sometimes punishable.”
“Do you believe the nature of Quirks has something to do with their so-called subjugation? Would you rather that none other than Pro Heroes utilize their Quirks? Or do you believe that everyone, no matter their background, should be granted the authority to use their Quirks in their day-to-day lives, outside of the public eye?“
“… With All For One in prison, what do you plan on doing to stop the League?”
there’s definitely a sort of fervent quality hakamata notes when the other begins to write, his passing thought soon reinforced when he’s thrown question after question. what interests him, however, is that they are more thought out than most done in this rapid-fire style. and seemingly with a connecting theme to them all. perhaps this is his specific topic of study.
“ like minded individuals, especially those who view themselves as outsiders to the world, have a tendency to band together. if it were solely up to me, i’d prefer them to be rehabilitated while serving their time. crimes cannot go unpunished after all. “
“ i believe that in attempting to make things black and white, we have created an increasingly muddled grey area. with your vigilantes example, yes they can do some good, but what happens when they make mistakes? decide to go out for revenge? without being a registered hero it’s hard to hold them accountable unless caught. “
“ ideally, we would be allowed to use our quirks as naturally as we use our own limbs or senses. but there would be those to take advantage of that, those who think they can help but do more harm. regulation is a necessity. the extent is what can be debated. “
then something that was definitely a chuckle escaped the pro hero’s masked lips, amused. “ i’m afraid i can’t go into detail about that. just be assured that we will be taking appropriate action to bring them to justice. “ and this, out of all his answers, is the one that sounded most rehearsed. the most ‘meant for reporters’ answer.
