* Stanley has a ItsAllMyFault moment for failing to warn his team about Kennedy. He's so filled with guilt that he requests Luz to take his Quirk from him, believing himself to be unworthy.



* Luz acknowledges she killed 20 kids with her own hands after stealing most of their Quirks but she can't bring herself to feel real remorse at her actions, despite recognising her actions as terrible and trying to feel something. Instead she feels NoSympathy for towards her victims and justifying her actions as PayEvilUntoEvil (Which there is truth to). [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil This realisation scares Luz that she's becoming more like Shigaraki who encourages her to not feel remorse for it]].
--> ''20 people, 20 kids were never going to see their parents thanks to her. 20 kids were never going to grow older because of her, and 20 kids would never fully realize their potential because of her. She took their powers and killed them without a single shred of remorse..''
* She's also concerned that she made The Governor's job easier, would acquitted of all of his charges, return to his job, and it would all be swept under the rug, and be played off as a rumour that never happened. This would have happened had he not been arrested.
* Not long after she wakes up from her coma, Luz has a panic attack after having flashbacks of all the horrible things she witnessed and did at the Death Camp. This occurs in front of her distressed mother as she is hurried out of her hospital by the doctors trying to sedate her. Its possible that her seeming lack of remorse for her actions was a DelayedReaction.
* When Luz wakes up and first sees her concerned mother, she admits to herself that part of her hates Camila for unwittingly dumping into that horrible situation.
* Poor Camila is told by one of the doctors what happened at the Summer Camp orchestrated by her State's AntagonisticGovernor as a case of ChildrenForcedToKill, with her daughter having the highest body count and gaining serve PTSD from the experience. She has a HeroicBSOD and believes its her fault for forcing Luz to go there.

* After Luz was discharged from the hospital, [[BroughtDownToBadass she off-loaded 18 of her Quirks to bring it down to a safer 10]]. Notably, she did not keep Julia's (or any of her deceased friends') powers as a TragicKeepsake not because they where too weak but because they kept reminding her of their grim fate and triggered her PTSD she got from that nightmare camp.
* Julia's funeral was a closed casket, [[NotEnoughToBury for obvious reasons]]. In fact, it's later revealed that not all the dead kids came out of the camp in body bags, but urns because the condition of their bodies were so severe that it wouldn't have been right to show the dead children's families ''that''.
* Her parents didn't even bother going to her funeral and even as far as to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown change her last name to distance themselves from her]]. Whatever love they had for their daughter, was NOT unconditional.
* Luz remembers that her apologetic mother couldn't stop crying for a week over what happened to her at the Death Camp. Luckily, it seems her daughter has forgiven her.

* As Rikitatsu continues to praise his apprentice, he stops as he notices the girl TryingNotToCry. This genuinely catches the man off guard and flat out asks her if she's okay... only for her to hug the person she recognises as a monster and break down into tears. She's so thoroughly broken and traumatised by her experience as a superhuman in the past month that she's willing to seek comfort from All For One of all people. [[SympathyForTheHero Even some one with a black heart like him is compelled to comfort the girl]], which is probably only altruistic thing he's done in over a century.

* The villain admits that Luz was just a means to an end to get back to his world, have her steal One For All from All Might or whoever he passed it on to, and then pull a VillainOverride on her body and with the newly evolved All For One [[CameBackStrong come back to life stronger than ever]] to restore his criminal empire bigger than ever before. And now he has a WhatIsThisFeeling moment in his heart when seeing the girl in question in emotional turmoil, instead of his just usual sadism.

* Luz's relationship with her mother is even more strained than in the show, thanks to her being an AlcoholicParent in this story. After the massive argument they had last night that resulted with Camila throwing a wing glass at Luz while revealing she's a ResentfulGuardian towards her. While Luz tries to tell herself her mother didn't mean due to being drunk, she remarks to herself that the one good thing about Reality Check Camp is that she can get away from her mother after that verbal abuse. She even considers running away from home if Camila doesn't get her act together.
