Izuku enters a pitch-black room. He makes sure he can defend himself if they just brought him here to kill him.
He reaches his visor and turns on his night-vision only to find Shigaraki find front of him. He doesn't have the hand over his face, revealing his crusty face. However, at least his clothes are nicer.
Shigaraki grins, obviously wanting something more from Izuku than his death,
"Right here, right now. I put the offer out. I don't want to chase you down. I know you see it. You run with me, and I can cut you free. Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in."
Shigaraki wants Izuku to become a villain? He must have the means to convince Izuku to join, forcefully or not. No idiot would just do this because they want. It's scary to Izuku to think that Shigaraki has something to hold over Izuku's head.
However, Izuku can use this time as intel collecting. It's risky, but isn't that what Izuku signed up for?
Izuku keeps his face blank, causing Shigaraki to growl, but the smirk comes back,
"So trade that typical, for something colorful. And if it's crazy, live a little crazy! You can play it sensible, a king of conventional. Or you can risk it all and see..."
Shigaraki approaches Izuku suddenly, leaving a barely a foot (0.3) meters between the two. It takes everything for Izuku not to step back for space.
"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride! It'll take you to the other side! Cause you can do like you do, or you can do like me; stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key! Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly! It'll take you to the other side!"
Izuku knows he can't take this offer immediately. Otherwise, it would look suspicious. He has to fake a guard. Izuku makes sure to look Shigaraki straight in the eyes as he speaks,
"Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in. Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen. So thanks, but no. I think I'm good to go. Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in."
Izuku withdraws from Shigaraki, walking away towards a random wall as he can't find a door. Now to make a reasonable reason for Izuku to want to join,
"Now I admire you, and that whole show you do. You're onto something, really it's something. But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells! I'll have to leave that up to you."
Izuku shifts his body to look at Shigaraki, who seems to be thinking of how to play his cards,
"Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play? Cause I got what I need, and I don't need to take the ride. I don't need to see the other side! So go and do like you do, and I'm good to do like me. Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key! Oh damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine? I don't need to see the other side."
Izuku sees a glint in Shigaraki's eyes as he approaches closer, but not as close as the first time. He has found his card.
"Now is this really how you like to spend you days? Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?"
