the trash behind him, and one of the officials saying “we’ll provide for him and his family,” make me think that… hawks was probably on the margins of society too.
it’s actually a little reminiscent of the scene where AFO finds shigaraki – they were both found in the aftermath of them using their quirk. the fact that both of their saviours were faceless. the way hawks is being manipulated by the higher ups.
hawks was groomed for hero work the same way shigaraki was groomed to be a villain.
