[If Paul was a better disciplined person, he'd be able to keep the crack out of his voice even now, in the extremity of loss. He'd be as cold as Shouto is, but without the fury. He'd accept his fate with the stoicism of a fated monster.
But he can't stop thinking of Izuku, blood-splattered, wounded in body and soul. He can't stop wanting to have wiped the tears from his face and taken him into his arms, traitor or not. He can't stop wanting, and this is always his weakness.]
He doesn't want to see me. Should I force him to? Is that what you're asking me to do?
