[He's not getting any worse at the moment, at least. Not getting much better, either, but being handed an opening to strategize and assess without having to think about the distressing pulse rising up around them is something he's not going to pass up. It's a practical distraction, and something to keep him from getting lost in his own head.
It's true that they can't exactly preemptively freeze every surface in the building -- even if they did know someone was in here, they'd need to have a much better idea of where they might be. And most of the Quirks bound up in One For All are defensive or supportive, so unless they have a very good reason to start busting up parts of the structure it's only good for Danger Sense, which isn't exactly helpful without any harmful intent to trip it.
And yet.
Then we continue recon until we have more information. If our Quirks can't help us, then we'll have to do things the hard way until we find something they can apply to.
And if they don't find anything like that, they keep doing things the hard way until the problem is solved, even if that means having to find someone else better suited to the situation. Izuku can't let them resort to that until he's absolutely sure they can't handle this themselves, though.
So. Take a deep breath, straighten up, square his shoulders. Reassemble his hero persona as best he can, because if he keeps wearing confidence then maybe he'll start feeling it again. Don't think about what they're experiencing, don't think about the fact that it could be more of this world's awful mind-screwing nonsense. They've got this. He's fine.]
