Coy sat on her bed, arms wrapped around her legs as they were pulled to her chest. She stared at the wall, trying to clear her mind, -it didn't work.

Stuffing her head into her arms, she found herself shaking, she couldn't stop.

She wanted it to stop.

Ever since her meet up with her brother, ever since she cried to him, the nightmares had been coming back, ━━they were always there, but she didn't pay them much attention until now. They tormented her, reminded her where she came from, they reminded her why she couldn't reach so far, what she was holding onto.

It was as if it were telling her, she couldn't be anything more than her past.

She didn't want that.

She wanted to be something. Something that wasn't the scars left by her father.

But, could she?

She looked up at the sound of explosions, her eyes burning. Cautiously she made her way off her bed, and to her balcony. She couldn't see it very well, but the explosions were coming from Ground Beta. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her recent thoughts were pushed to the back of her mind as she focused on whatever it was that was happening.

'Bakugo....?' As strange as it was, she recognized the blond's Quirk. ━━She took it upon herself to be able to recognize everyone's Quirks, so recognizing it wasn't all that hard.━━ And when she noticed the clash of green, connecting with the familiar explosions, it was then that she realized what it was that was occuring. And despite the curiosity eating at her, she chose to stay on her balcony, watching. She didn't want to risk getting in trouble for being out past curfew.

She watched as a single explosion occured, putting an end to a fight she couldn't properly see. She stayed on the balcony, for a few minutes longer, waiting to see if the fight would continue. When nothing happened, she made her way back inside her dorm, closing the balcony door.

She found herself in the middle of her room, eyes closed and head tilted back. She was listening to everything around her. Why? Maybe it was because she needed a distraction. Or maybe she was hoping to hear something, that would explain to her what happened.

Either way, it kept the thoughts at bay.

"Coy? What are you doing outside? Your dad will be home soon, please come back in..."

Her eyes opened and she glanced towards the door at the sound of footsteps, trying, and failing, to keep quiet. Midoriya was back.

"I like to listen..."

Her head lulled to the side lazily, hearing the click of the male's dorm.

"To what?"

Things were once again quiet, and she found herself straining her ears. She listened as the wind outside ruffled the leaves of trees, and the slow, quiet, beeps her clock would make as it changed in time every minute, and the hum the air conditioner made. Her eyes closed, and her head hung. She slowly wrapped her arms around herself, slowly taking a seat on the floor, knees to her chest. The thoughts were pushed back as she focused on the sounds that were never heard.

"The world."

"Listen up, everyone! Stay in line and move promptly to the ground!"

Coy shut her eyes in annoyance at Iida's shouting. She didn't sleep, not even a wink, last night. She was tired and the thoughts of her nightmares were back, and Iida's shouting was not helping.
