[Izuku is basically done by the time Bakugou hits him with that plea, leaving him at a loss. Ever since he'd been bitten, he knew there would be no way to save him. He would die, but he'd continue living on as an animated corpse. There was no cure as of this moment, and if someone wanted him dead...it was well within the scope of the law for them to take it into their own hands.
Izuku's close to a breaking point of some kind by the time he pulls the thread through his last stitch, unable to even see Bakugou through his own tears as he drops the needle and thread from shaking hands. It's still attached to Bakugou, not yet tied off as he suddenly lurches and throws his arms around his best friend's neck.]
I'm s-sorry! If...If I'd been there faster...I could have stopped it, or...or...
[Or, perhaps, he could have taken the fall instead.]
