"Bad news?" Worried for her friend, Uviel's parted lips moved as she asked and watched the student in the doorway nod.


"Yeah..." Shinso trailed off for a moment with his purple eyes looking over at Haru, who remained dazed and still in her spot. "You want to tell her, or should I?" his question received a simple nod of the brunette's head, before she lifted her blind hues, towards her best friend.


Still very much dazed from crying, her usual smiling lips stayed as a frown and soon enough her head lowered again. "Shigaraki... He said he was going to force marriage on me, to try and help me. He said... He wanted to marry me, to keep me focused on being villainous since my father offered him a spot as a marriage candidate. He still thought about the offer even after he died... What am I supposed to do? I don't want to be a villain! I don't want to kill!" This time, with devastation, she quickly raced over to Uviel and clamped her fingers tightly onto her small shoulders.


"I don't know what to do! I don't know what to do anymore! I'm... I'm so scared... Uviel, please," To her knees she fell and buried her face into her best friend's stomach. Her shaky hands kept a firm hold on Saito's stomach area, clenching the fabric of her hoodie. "I can't hide this anymore... -hic- I can't, I'm so tired of this -hic-, I'm so tired of faking everything!" Her muffled sobs and words stunned everyone, especially her best friend who stood in astonishment upon seeing Haru's actions.


With gaped lips and wide eyes evident, the only thought that ran through the lighter redhead's mind was... She's terrified. Very gently a tiny, pale hand rested on top of Haru's head to hold her close and let her cuddle.


Kamihara's thoughts were the same as the cybergirl's, for he too believed the brunette was terrified and that her actions were a little unusual to see compared to her happy and cheery self. Faking? That's right... Har-Har hides a lot of how she feels with a smiling mask, she's tired of wearing it. She's so afraid. The fear she feels hides behind her bright smile, and keeping it from showing is only making it worse. She's always in pain, but to know Shigarashi's carrying on what her father was going to do... Saito's monologue echoed for a moment before those blue hues looked up at Eijiro and the others.


Kirishima's worried eyes met hers then watched as her concerned ones shifted into strict ones, from then he knew she was planning something. "Uviel, what are you up to?" As soon as he asked, her attention moved to Shinso, Wani, Edgeshot, and a glance behind her to peek at Thirteen. They were all either as astonished as she was a second ago, or had sympathetic faces.


Returning her gaze to her caring man, anger began to fill those stunning eyes and her breathing was starting to become harsh from the pressure of her ever-growing rage. Soon enough, a flash of blue in her gaze proved that she was trying to hold back a heavy scream she wanted so badly to let out. The crying of her friend and the situation she's been through all her life, to know Shigaraki was willing to keep pushing regardless of Tadami's death, put her on the edge of her last nerve.


"Thirteen, Edgeshot, Eijiro, Hitoshi, Kyoshi, all of you... Since Hatsume's still asleep-- I need one of you guys to hold me back. I don't want to wake her up abruptly... Cause, for once in my life I want to tear someone apart and I'm afraid someone will get hurt," This was all very new to everyone, for they've known her to be quiet and to dislike getting too much involved with anything. To know that she wanted to go after someone willingly, even Kamihara who was pretty good at keeping his emotions under control, was amazed by her words.
