Hey I fucked up and wrote like, 2,000 words for this chapter about something that was made during/about COVID-19. Assuming COVID-19 wasn't a thing in the MHA universe, this wouldn't have been possible and Inside by Bo Burnham wouldn't exist. So, instead of deleting hours worth of creative energy, I've decided that Inside was simply a passion project where Bo Burnham locked himself inside for a year and created content. I am sorry for taking so many creative liberties, but I'm lazy, okay? And I really like this chapter.

Depresso: Hey I have to tell you something
Hi-Toe-Shi: You're desperately in love with me?
Depresso: you wish. I won't be in the supplementary class anymore. I've been cleared to go back to heroics
Hi-Toe-Shi: Who am I gonna hang out with now? :(
Depresso: I'm sorry,, but we can still hang out other times
Hi-Toe-Shi: Like when? We have different lunch blocks.
Depresso: well what are u doing right now?
Hi-Toe-Shi: ????? It's almost 2 AM, I'm not leaving my house.
Depresso: you don't have to! We can watch a movie using the screen-sharing feature on a video call.
Hi-Toe-Shi: Oh. Alright. What do you wanna watch?
Depresso: uhhh I haven't gotten a chance to see that new Bo Burnham special? Insider or whatever
Hi-Toe-Shi: Insider? I barely know her
Depresso: I fucking hate you.
Depresso: do u wanna watch it or not, Shinsou
Hi-Toe-Shi: I fucking hate how you constantly switch between "u" and "you." You're a psychopath.
Depresso: the test results haven't come back yet :/ and fuck u, you ass
Hi-Toe-Shi: Mm. Spite isn't a good look on you.
Depresso: Yeah well purple isn't your color
Hi-Toe-Shi: D:< I WAS LITERALLY BORN LIKE THIS
Depresso: It's okay bud, there are people you can talk to. I'm sure it must be difficult :(
Hi-Toe-Shi: That's it. Friendship revoked. Watch Inside by yourself.
Depresso: nooo I'm sorry. All jokes I promise. Watch it with me
Hi-Toe-Shi: Give me one good reason why I should.
Depresso: uhhhh
Depresso: I genuinely enjoy your company and I think it would be a nice bonding experience.
Hi-Toe-Shi has taken a screenshot!
Hi-Toe-Shi: wow. A rare compliment.
Depresso: Watch the movie with me dammit 🔫
Hi-Toe-Shi has requested to start a video call!
I situate myself quickly so I lay on my stomach, pillow tucked under my chin, with my phone resting against the wall. I fix my hair, pause, ask myself what the fuck I'm doing, then accept the call.
