The dorms are quiet.  Everyone is sound asleep, except for me.  I've been having more trouble sleeping lately, and I don't know why.  I don't bother complaining though, it won't do anything.

I get out of my bed, still very awake, and leave my room.  The halls are dark, only the moon lights my way.  I walk into the common room, and see an odd sight.

Deku sits on the couch.  He looks upset.  I carefully walk forward, trying not to startle him.

"Can't sleep?" I ask.

He looks up at me, surprised about having been caught, "you could say that."

I swing over the couch and sit next to him, "what's wrong?"

He's reluctant to tell me, but eventually does, "I saw this...girl," he explains, "she...didn't look normal.  She was covered in bandages and this guy, he was trying to pull her back."

He puts his head in his hands, "she was terrified, Hanami.  And I didn't save her!"

"So, do something out it." I say simply.

"No, I'm not like you.  I can't just do things because I want to." He protests.

I giggle, "yes you do!  Maybe you don't do things because you want you but you're just as reckless as me.  You break your bones in almost every damn fight we have.  You want to save this girl, do it."

I see the corner of his mouth move up to form a light smile.  "I will save her."

I smile and stand up.  Now, I need some sleep.
