THE NIGHT WAS CALM. The air was light and not suffocating. It was nice.
F/n stood next to the spirits, staring at them weirdly as they talked about their plan. It was not the plan she was worried about. It was them.
The spirits were clearly skinnier and paler and despite them being translucent, she could really tell the difference. She had been opening her mouth and shutting it ever since she had noticed this and Dabi had caught her every time she did.
"Spit it," the villain interjected, causing the others to face him and send him a weird look while he stared right into F/n's eyes, "Opening your mouth only to close it makes you look like an idiotic fish."
"Language," All Might sighed.
"I just..." F/n cleared her throat, "You look um... skinner and paler since the last time I saw you."
It had been a week since F/n last saw them. Which means a week of recovery. There was still a mark left from the bruise and the scratch from the scar but it didn't hurt anymore. And now that she was back, the spirits looked... tired.
The translucent people exchanged glances before Aizawa rubbed the back of his neck with a tired expression. A more tired expression than he usually had.
"L/n," he called out, "There's something I need to tell you."
"We," Shigaraki mockingly emphasised, annoyed with how they would do it to them every time he said himself.
"There is something we need to tell you," Aizawa said, giving in to the villain's childish action, "This is another reason why we need your help. Because without you, we might die."
"What?" she breathed out, scanning the spirits' faces, "How can you die?"
"Hunger," Spinner said.
"Like every other human, if we don't eat, we die," Midnight explained.
"What about drinking?" F/n asked.
"We haven't been drinking and are still living so I think it's just food," the heroine stated.
"But... Shoji and Koda said that you can't eat," the girl, almost accusingly, said, causing the two mentioned students to feel slightly taken aback.
"Well, we can but it's not that simple," the woman said, nodding to confirm her statement.
"We can't touch food, L/n, which is why we can't eat," Aizawa said, "You, with the ability, can make food that we can eat."
There was a moment of silence before F/n blurted out one word.
