Y-yeah. [Izuku rubs furiously at his eyes with his sleeve.]
He really didn't want anyone to know what that form looked like, or that it existed in the first place. All Might... he was worried about how that would affect the people relying on him, because he thought it would change their perception of him as their strongest hero. [There's a somewhat distant look on his face now as he says all this, quietly. And how odd, that it sounds like Izuku isn't at all surprised about the other form. And how odd, that Izuku seems to know more than just what was broadcasted on that night. He doesn't realize what he's giving away, though, too caught up in reliving that memory.]
I...guess I'd consider it my worst memory because I was scared for him. It cost him so much to win that fight, and we didn't know what would happen afterward.
[That's without even going into the message All Might had delivered to him, that had made stronger both his determination and his worry that he isn't good enough to follow in All Might's footsteps.]
