It happens!! César's MIND just got busy.

Sorry, them's the breaks. You gotta work if you want to get your own place. "Free room and board, although food is a bit scarce now, but they feed us what they can."

The question about heroes makes César stop mid-stride as his mind explodes with processing the subtext, eyes widening momentarily. Heroes are a bad thing to only one other person he knows. And that one other person reacted the same way to enforcers.

César recovers quickly, realizing his reaction could be wildly reinterpreted, so his expression grows serious and he shoots off rapid-fire questions to clear up that confusion, his voice dropping quieter to be less likely to be overhead. "You're—from that Earth where everyone with a Quirk wishes to be a 'hero'? Destroying lives for the pettiest of crimes if it'll further their careers? Judging people as villains for the tiniest things? Never giving people a chance to be anything other than a so-called 'villain'? That Earth?"

Someone's definitely given César an earful about heroes, haven't they? He doesn't answer the question directly, but they're an answer of their own. Hero love is not necessary.

And sorry, Dabi. If you had given him a Japanese name, he would've asked this all in Japanese for extra security because he's a reformed weeb who also worked in robotics later.
