[...] Neil wrenched the broken bag off its hook. When he turned to throw it Andrew caught his wrist. Neil hadn't even heard Andrew cross the room toward him. Neil stared at him and through him, heart pounding in his temples. "It's ruined," Neil said, voice ragged with an awful rage. "It's all ruined."
In SFH fandom, we have often asked question about this topic; why is Seo Moon Jo a Dentist ? Why teeth ?
This is just my guess, but I think it was intentionally done to pay tribute to the story High Window and to the author Raymond Chandler. Please bear with me …..
From what I’ve seen, Director Lee Chang Hee and Screenwriter Jung Yi Do, both are very intentional in everything they do in storytelling. In the original webtoon, there is no mention of Dentistry and Moon Jo isn’t really there. Yeongsam or 203 is more …. A mix of Yoo Ki Hyuk and Seo Moon Jo( more Ki Hyuk if you ask me) . Seo Moon Jo is a character that was introduced by Screenwriter and was developed by the director for the series. Hence the webtoon and series have lots of similarities, and yet lots of differences. So I wouldn’t be too surprised if they made Seo Moon Jo a Dentist, to pay tribute or to convey a message.
The High Window is a murder mystery that revolves around a missing antique gold coin called The Brasser Dabloon and Dentist and Dentistry techniques to make things play a BIG role in the story. I am so tempted to put some excerpts but that will give away major spoilers about High Window. The fact that not only Moon Jo’s a Dentist but he also makes jewelry through dentistry techniques…. I think that was included as an ode to Chandler’s High Window and also as a vessel to deliver macabre horror in SFH.
Maybe Director and/or screenwriter are big fan of Chandler and they paid tribute to the author by mentioning it at the rooftop scene and through Moon Jo’s profession and passion.
High window is an absolute amazing story and Raymond Chandler is every bit of masterful crime thriller author. I can see why it’s Jung Woo’s favorite
AU:
Neil doesn’t meet the foxes, he’s instead caught by the FBI
He helps them catch his father and bring down his empire.
One day he’s brought in to Andrew’s lecture as a guest speaker
The Q&A at the end:
Student: Have you ever killed someone?
Neil: There’s two FBI agents at the door who advised me against answering that specific question. There’s your answer.
Student: What’s the best way to get fake documents?
Neil: I’m legally required to say “don’t”.
Student: What’s the most illegal thing you’ve ever done?
Neil: See, that’s a trick question, because if I answer it becomes the most illegal thing I’ve admitted to.
Student: What’s the hardest lie youve ever had to tell?
Neil: “Sure, I’d love to do a Q&A with a bunch of people who are weirdly obsessed with my father and decided to study crimes because they don’t have the balls to commit them.”
Student: Are you afraid your father’s people will come after you?
Neil *at the end of his fucking rope*: No, I feel completely safe. That’s why I’ve got armed federal agents waiting outside.
Student: How’d you get caught?
Neil: First of all, rude. Second, the FBI made a very compelling argument
Student: …which one
Neil: “cooperate or find out exactly how many laws you’ve broken” - said by a guy holding a very thick file. Direct. Effective. Hard to argue while zip-tied to a chair.
Student: What’s something you miss about your old life?
Neil: being able to leave a room without seven cops and a judge asking where I’m going.
Student: If you could do it all over again, would you?
Neil: I’d rather set myself on fire. I know you don’t understand that reference, but trust me when I say it’s funny.
Student: how many identities have you had?
Neil: Simultaneously or in total?
Student: …total?
Neil: enough that I had to check my ID before answering roll call
Student: what’s the worst crime you’ve ever committed?
Neil: do you want me to answer this as Neil Josten or Nathaniel Wesninski? The distinction matters.
Student: Have you ever made someone disappear?
Neil *looking over his shoulder at Browning*: goodness gracious no
Student: How many languages do you speak?
Neil: enough to talk my way out of things… mostly into them, though
Student: Why did you agree to talk to us?
Neil: it was this or community service
He’s as unhelpful as possible.
His entire goal is to waste everyone’s time while making it just interesting enough that no one can call him out on it.
And Andrew? He’s watching. He’s enthralled. He’s interested, and isn’t that odd.
The professor looks like she regrets her entire career. Half the class is too stunned to speak. Browning is wondering if the punishment for beating up the most valuable witness the FBI has in custody would be worth it. (It would)
Anyway long story short. 5 minutes in Andrew’s in love
(Bkdk 🧡💚 of course)
Midoriya gets into a bit of a quirk accident, reverting back to his middle school years both in mind and body. He's a bit flustered over the attention and kindness of his future classmates (in their second year, apparently) and a familiar face appears.
Kacchan eventually drags him away from their classmates to explain the situation of his scarred face, briefly reviewing the war they'd faced, the situation of being quirkless to quirked with Allmights legendary power, and also that... Well, uh... Kacchan and Izuku are kind of in a relationship.
Kacchan tries to explain it. How they've come so far in such a short amount of time, how he's not the same person he was in middle school, and how important Izuku is to him. It sounds an awful lot like Kacchan is trying to convince Izuku of something.
"Kacchan, out of everything you've said, us being together is the only one that makes sense to me."
Passing the UA entrance exam with three broken limbs is ridiculous by comparison.
This surprises Kacchan. After everything they'd been through together, the war and heartache, it made sense then that they'd be together- but why would it make sense to a Deku that never had those experiences? Those pivotal moments of understanding??
Izuku says that it was obviously because he "Followed The Plan™."
What is The Plan™?
A process Izuku had documented and crafted since grade school, of how to fully and thoroughly win Kacchan's heart through sheer determination and persistence.
He even had a Plan B for if he didn't get into UA with Kacchan or vice versa. Izuku starts into it, explaining moments that never made sense to Katsuki until put behind Izuku's logic, and sure enough the way they'd actually started dating was eerily similar to this Izuku's prediction.
Some things must have changed over time, obviously Deku didn't even know he was getting a quirk, but apparently he was always going to have Kacchan.
A thoughtful, kindhearted little man.

buy ME a ko-fi here AND get a doodle of your choice! :)
sorry…. were you gonna eat that? *points to human remains*
I don't need Neil to act crazy in the rest of the series anymore. I just need him to be mildly respectful of the trojans because he thinks they're cool and he wants to make a good impression. And I want Jean and Kevin to be frothing at the mouth irate because where the fuck was this energy until now.
I love that bkdk is actually everything, like it’s sunshine x grumpy, then it’s rule breaker x rule follower BUT REVERSED, it’s sun and moon but not who you think, it’s apology in the rain, dramatic rescue missions, hospital scenes, targeted by villains for being too close, knowing the other better than anyone else, rivals that forever chase each other—
