Look, it 's not like Hawks

tries

to eavesdrop on emotionally exhausting moments between Satoru and all the people in his life, it 's just ' ...really hard not to, when he keeps having these conversations well within earshot of the pro hero.

He does his best to tune it out, as the younger Todoroki starts to cry in earnest, and Satoru does a hilariously hapless job of attempting to comfort him through it. Not that Hawks could have done all that much better, to be fair. Sure, he 's not too bad at comforting civilians during missions, but that has less to do with any emotional availability on his part and more to do with the hours of training he 's had on the subject. If he and Satoru were to switch places, Hawks would be doing as much of a laughably bang-up job as the former villain is. Not that Hawks could even fathom the idea of it. He doesn 't have any siblings, and the concept of them is so profound he wouldn 't even know where to start in attempting to comfort them.
