Midorya awakens to a sudden bright light that completely illuminates the cell revealing there to be a sink with a dirty mirror above it and one toilet in the far right corner of the room. Sitting up and rubbing his eyes midorya dangles his feet over his 'bed'. Kaina looks away from her book and pokes Midorya's calf

"Good Morning."

Midorya jumps off the bed and walks towards the sink

"Good Morning Miss Tsutsumi."

Midorya turns the sinks handle and washes his eyes out with the sink water

Midorya looks back up to find the foggy/dirty mirror barely showing his reflection. He looks like a ghost with all his features hidden

Midorya turns away from the mirror and walks back over to his bed climbing back onto the cold smooth stone slab

"So..... what do we do?"
Midorya questioned

"Your doing it. We stay in our cells for the first half of the day. Go outside in the afternoon. Then go to the cafeteria for the last half. After all that we come back to our cells and sleep."

Midorya thinks for a moment

"Everyday. For the rest of our lives."
Midorya pondered

"Pretty much kid.... want a book?"
Kaina responded uncaring

"Sure."

Nagants holds up a slim grey book for Midorya to grab which he does. The book itself is near entirely grey except for the title being big bold golden letters reading out "The American Inferno by Henry David Thoreau"

Midorya flips the book open to be met with paragraphs among paragraphs of words.

'Good time killer.'
Midorya thought to himself

For the next hour or so Midorya and his cellmate preserved the silence in there room as they were infatuated in there books given there was nothing else to do. After another minute goes by Midorya perks up and addresses Kaina.

"Listen to this.... "The whole point of America is freedom. Freedom of thought, freedom of deed, freedom of action."."

Kaina puts her book down temporarily before coming up with a answer

"That's real pretty. You see yourself as a philosopher now?"
Tsutsumi questions sarcastically

"No. But this authur has a wonderful way of thinking.. I could get hooked on this."
Midorya gloats

"If it keeps your mouth shut. Go for it."
Nagant retorts playfully

Midorya. Taking offense. Decides to look over his bed to be met with Nagants eyes

"What'd I do?"
Midorya questions with a hint of sadness

Nagant only snickers before answering the gullible bastard

"I'm joking Midorya. Lighten up. If your gonna live with me the rest of your days you gotta adapt to my humor"
Kaina smiles after she finishes boasting

"It's quite dreadful isn't it?"
Midorya jokes as he turns his attention back to his book

"Excuse me?"
Kaina responds in offense

"I didn't say anything."
Midorya says with a smile on his face

Nagant decides to leave it alone as she brushes it off with a smile

"Now your getting it."

The reading session continues for another 10 minutes before Midorya addresses Nagant again
