I always thought this was Toga (disguised as Camie) simply talking about her ‘disappearing’ technique, but I realize - this could be applied to her life pre-crime.

Hiding herself - her true self - from everyone. Stop thinking for herself, think of nothing at all, just move on automatic, obeying without thought. The whole “not thinking” is the hard part - we have brains for a reason. We have a mind and heart unique to ourselves, thinking our private thoughts - but now you need to shut that away.

When people stop breathing, they die. If Toga ‘stops breathing’, she dies. Toga Himiko dies, then there’s no longer a ‘Toga Himiko’, no longer a self.

Be empty and dead inside, and you can blend in with the crowd. Have no sense of self, and you can be whoever people want you to be. Had Toga stop being herself, then her parents will stop yelling at her, people will accept her.

She can live a ‘normal’ life, but only if she’s a hollow shell.

#Toga Himiko #It’s fun how Spinner joins the League because he felt empty #While Toga joins the League because she knows what that emptiness is like and never wants to go back to it #Stop breathing stop thinking - rules for survival #Toga made herself visible and lost her family and friends and security and stability #Spinner became an empty shell and managed to get by as a hikikomori which while not ideal #at least allowed him to have family and home #a place on the social order that is low low rung but not thrown away altogether like villains #If Tenko had just stop thinking about Heroes then he would not be rejected #then during the walk #people refused to look or hear him #making him ‘disappear’ and turn into that hollow shell #Twice simply could not stop being himself and he got killed for it #Endeavor refused to look at Touya and Touya refused to disappear or let the past die so now he’s Dabi #Mr. Compress who are you #nalslastworkingbraincell #not saying Toga is 100% correct #just pointing out this observation
