"She just freaked out and smacked her head against the table," Kirishima says, standing in front of Aizawa.

The three boys who witnessed the incident are standing in the teacher's office in front of Aizawa and explaining to him how Ekio so happened to injure herself, or how she got injured.

"So your saying, that calm and collected Komo, who just never does anything out of the ordinary, woke up, covered her eyes and then slammed her forehead against the side of the table?" Aizawa gives the three boys his signature look of just absolute disbelief with a hint of 'I want to give up on everything.'

"Yes," Bakugo nods, oddly extremely calm about the entire situation.

All Might, who is sitting not far from the current scene has been listening to the entire conversation, trying to find an opening to jump in and thinks he has just found it. He explodes into his larger form and appears next to the kids, acting as if he also has to report to Aizawa.

"Ah, Aizawa-kun if I may interject in here, I must say that I crossed paths with Young Kio this morning and she seemed very out of the ordinary." All Might says, causing all three boys the jump slightly at his appearance.

Aizawa just slides his gaze over to All Might and nods. "In what way?"

"Well first, she was at school very early, before any students really, she seemed very clumsy but also very alert, like she hadn't gotten much sleep." All Might bends down to the height of the students, pointing to them and also serving to information to them. "We had a brief conversation before she ran off, towards the classroom I assume. It was very much not like the Ms Komo I know."

"Hm, indeed." Aizawa spins around in his chair, before snapping back to the students. "I know you three are very close to her."

The three nod together, not knowing how to reply to anything the teacher is saying to them.

"Have any of you met her family?" Aizawa asks, trying to dance around the real question.

"If you want to know about what happened yesterday, Kio was pretty adamant about not saying a single word to anyone," Bakugo says, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"What about you, Todoroki?" Aizawa gives he boy a sly look, overtly saying that if he tells him what he needs he won't out him and Ekio.

The heterochromatic boy shales his head, "she wouldn't tell me anything. But she was very quiet." The boy looks to the side.

"Quieter than usual?"

Shoto forgot that Ekio pretty much doesn't speak to anyone unless spoken to. Shoto and Bakugo and his gang are maybe the only kids that she will speak to without prompt. Shoto nods to the teacher, giving All Might a glance.

"Did she say anything, to any one of you?" Aizawa tires one last time.

"She said she hopes her brother stops embarrassing her," Kirishima says thoughtfully, looking to Bakugo who just nods along broodingly.

Once again Aizawa looks to Shoto for more answers.

"We spoke about villains for a moment," Shoto recalls, wondering how much he should say. "About those two missing people," He looks at All Might, whose expression seems to droop ever so slightly at the mention of it. "Siren and Allure."

"Siren and Allure?" Aizawa's eyes widen slightly, "they were around when I was in school, why were you talking about them? They would be in their late 40's by now."

'Way to out me, Aizawa-kun.' All Might deadpans.

"They were on the news last night, Kio has been seeing them all over the news recently so she asked about them." Shoto mumbles.
