Twice saying he had to trust Hawks because it would be too sad not to, just on the risk that Hawks was telling the truth and really needed their help to be free, FUCKS me up. Because that's like the core of so many fanfictions. Where the League takes a risk to help Hawks and in turn Hawks wants to protect and help them too. But this isn't fanfiction.
Just, the thought that canon Hawks has never had someone do that for him before. To make such a risk and sacrifice just to maybe help. Twice was the first person too, and that meant so much to Hawks. That he begged Twice to let him help him rehab, that he begged him to not fight back, that when Hawks said "I can't let sentiment trip me up and someone has to die in these situations" and pinned Twice down, sword to his head, he still didn't do it and listened to Twice talk. And it was because of that hesitation that Dabi could get there to fight him too where Hawks was out in such a position that he couldn't put it off for a single second more.
Twice was the first person to try to help Hawks for no personal gain, and Hawks had to manipulate him and kill him. All the while repeating that Twice was a good man and he can help him. If the Commission just had a little less of a grip on Hawks' moral upbringing and sense of mission......
Don't talk to me I'm FUCKED UPPP
The teeeeeniest little Hawks crumb from the new season 7 trailer.

it's dabi day ( ๑>ᴗ<๑ )
Notice that Hawks takes off his mask before he starts saying something truthful/outside of his role. Everything he said until this point was part of his façade.
And it's notable that the first genuine dialogue Hawks has is that he doesn't admire All Might. Not all hero characters in BNHA had All Might as their main inspiration, but until this point there wasn't a single hero character to say anything like "I never wanted to be like [All Might]". Endeavor was not the exception. He may not have liked All Might personally, but it was primarily due to envy. Endeavor wanted to be like All Might in that he wanted to be number one and the strongest.
It's interesting that the takeaways from Hawks' introductory chapter are that he's duplicitous, ambitious, and doesn't like All Might. His introduction unsettled the status quo of the story until this point because Act One revolved around All Might the Symbol of Peace and Number One Hero. But Hawks is established as a top hero character outside of All Might's orbit with ambiguous intentions.

maybe if we torture this kid harder our lives will get even more awesome
