[Cater can't help but glance at Izuku when he says he wants to help the people that trapped them there. It's all he can do not to let loose a bitter laugh, because he can tell that Izuku is being completely sincere when he says this. Hero, for sure. He'd fit in at Royal Sword Academy, no question.]

I don't know that they need any help. I mean, like, for them, this is an acceptable way to live.

[They didn't care what they did to the people they brought here. Didn't care about the rampant gang activity. This was all just...normal. Cater tries to say this all casually, without outright discouraging him from what is likely a very engrained mindset. There really wasn't any point in arguing that the people in charge here were simply beyond their reach. Even if Izuku could help them, somehow, Cater doubted they'd ever let him.]

But I get it--having friends from home here is complicated. On one hand, it's comforting to have people you know, but on the other...it's hard to see them get hurt.

[Most of the students at Night Raven College were pretty shady, but they were still mostly teenagers fully unprepared for this level of stress and trauma. Every time a new one of their ranks showed up, it was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing how life here would change them. Cater could only imagine how much worse it would be for a bunch of heroes..]
