NORMAL POV-

"Toya! You could've at least told us!"

Mina shouted and wrapped Kunoichi in a hug as well as the rest of the girls.

"Why didn't you tell us you have Depression? We could've all helped you out by any means how!" Toru sounded as if she were whimpering, and her voice was cracking in tears.

"Guys, not too hard! You're...kinda suffocating me a bit!" Kunoichi aired. After coming back to its dorms last night, Toya was pretty exhausted and fell asleep the whole way. She guessed either Bakugou, Tokoyami, All Might, or Aizawa told the class about her chronic Depression.

She took her antidepressants earlier in the morning, and she was thinking clearly unlike the state of madness she was in last night. That might've been her lowest point, but she had to stay in the dorms for a few days just to recover mentally. But she would have to go over to Recovery Girl's office after today's opening ceremony. She hoped the old woman would give her mercy, she's already ignored so many of her warnings.

Toya later discovered that her boyfriend and Midoriya fought Ground Beta that same night. Aizawa gave them 3-4 days of house arrest as punishment, with Bakugou getting a long time. They had to clean the whole dormitory floors day and night - write down a page-long apology letter to him - and they can't get their injuries healed by Recovery Girl as an additional punishment. Toya thought she'd be punished too for leaving campus unauthorized, but Aizawa gave her a free pass because of her condition.

"Toya, why didn't you just turn to us, we're your friends," Momo stated.

"Yeah, if you needed to vent, you could've called any of us," Kyoka hugged Toya once more. Tears were threatening to leak out of the Earphone Jack user's eyes. "You're like...the only sister I have. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you. So please don't ever scare us like that again."

"Kyoka..." Toya whispered, tears already filling her eyes as she hugged her back. "I'm sorry I had you all worried. And distancing myself from all of you. I wasn't sure how to cope with what's happened and I went into a meltdown."

"Ribbit. At least, you're okay. That's what matters more to us," Tsu noted.

"Another group hug!" Mina ordered and the girls all went for another hug. This time, Toya wasn't resisting. She was letting them hug her, a smile on her lips made her whole personality glow. However, it was still baby steps until full recovery.

"Hey! Let me in on the boob action!" Mineta pounced toward the girls with a dirty motive.

"Butt out, Mineta!" Toya sucker punched him as the girls shouted at him, sending him flying across the room.

"Jeez! I swear that perv is getting on my last nerve," Toya hissed, huffing steam out her nose in annoyance.

"Looks like Toya-chan will be back to her old self sooner than expected," Izuku sweatdropped while Katsuki chuckled to himself. That's my girl.
