[ not bakugo thinking about all the potential directions yuwon could possibly take his interest. ... though, it's not exactly wrong, either.
despite the words coming from his own mouth, he can't deny how foreign they feel, if just because that's how rarely he voiced these desires since coming here (just telling someone vaguely he has an objective was substantially different than actually opening up, after all). while it may have sounded dramatic, or altruistic— yuwon would have chalked it up to simple survival. he didn't consider himself a "hero" in any meaning of the word, and he never thought of himself as a man who acts with a greater cause, if just because the idea itself made him cringe internally. outside of that, there was a much simpler reason he couldn't think of himself that way.
he wasn't afraid of leaving corpses at his wake, or whatever other consequences he had to bare. a true hero probably would think up a solution with the least amount of death, but yuwon only cared about efficacy. it's why hearing about "heroes" always made yuwon a bit more self-reflective than he'd like.
in the same vein, it's why he can respect those who have the power to be able to commit to the path they wanted, no matter how idealistic it may have seemed. he says this despite also taunting them and finding ways to criticize them, but listen... there is one hero he admires out there...
but, bakugo's commentary does stick to him. a vocation. a convention in his world. something commonplace to him, and yet yuwon also still takes it as being a "special" role. in all the quirks that existed, surely, there were some who were simply born to work up to being a "hero," right? it somehow only gives more food for thought, but maybe it does make bakugo feel a bit more relatable in some way he can't describe. but what sets them apart? ]
What's a hero to you? Do you think of it as more of a vocation, or an ideal? [ isn't that the more important question here?
still, to finally answer his: ] You could say how everything is done. I don't exactly enjoy the way things are now. Or rather, it can't stay like this. [ it's as vague as always, but it's clear it's a grave situation, even if he doesn't explicitly say so. ]
