Depression.
Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.
Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain. A person with depression may experience a variety of symptoms such as over sleeping, lack of ability to sleep, loss of appetite/over eating, thoughts of suicide/sh, mood swings, sudden outbursts of anger/breaking down at small inconveniences, unexplained pains, ect. If these feelings accure it is important to contact people you trust and surround yourself with them. But alot of people don't. Alot of people ignore it, and it breaks them in the end.
~Day 17 in the dorms~
It's been two weeks (and three days) since school started and if you asked Kirishima, he'd say everyone was really starting to adjust to dorm life now.
Bakugou and him never really had a ton of problems to start with, if you don't count his constant need to control his surroundings at all times. The man won't even let anyone touch him without warning! But.. Kirishima also don't think that was because of anyone in the dorms.
His trauma goes beyond anything the redhead had ever been able to decrypt in hus life, but he was hoping to get the blonde to open up about it soon. It was like Midoriya and Bakugou had some secret code or something. Every time something felt off, they'd go to deal with it. They're basically brothers; Kirishima guessed Midoriya just took care of Katsuki when things got tough.
But it worried Kirishima. He was scared something terrible had happened to his friend.. And despite the worry, he couldn't do anything to help him, no matter how desperate he was to do so.
They were all screwed up in their own ways... At least, that's what the redheaded sgark would say if asked.

"Where the hell are the bandages?"Bakugou's voice hit the cold dorm air, usual enraged venom absent from his tone as it was only Kirishima and him in the room.
He couldn't find the bandages anywhere, and he had searched both his and his dorm-mate's bathroom for them. He had checked Eri's aswell, but all he seemed to find was an abandoned roll of what used to be bandage tape. Which seemed weird to him, but who was he to ask the tiny trauma cacoon what she did with tape?
Katsuki felt annoyed by the lack of bandages in the dorm room. He had cut his hand open during training with Todoroki not long ago. It had stopped bleeding, but he was hoping to be able to bandage it up before it became infected.
"Um, not sure. I think Eri had them, she was 'making a hammock for her plushie' I think she said.. But now that I think of it, she's been using them alot, and there's no hammock or anything else she said she used it for in the past... Although,I believe I have some in my training bad, come here." Kirishima spoke, standing up to shuffle through his bad, pulling out the promised bandages and helping the blonde wrap his hand.
Kirishima ignored the protests of the other teen, seeing him clearly struggle to put it on properly himself.
"There, all done." The redhead gave the blonde a joyful smile, sitting back on his bed as he let Katsuki place the tape over the edge of the bandage. "Although, if she wasn't making things, what was she doing with the bandages?"
The two lost in thought teens stood questioning the small girl's actions for nearly fifteen minutes. It made no sense to them.
The way she used all the bandages. How her endless nightmares always seemed to be present at night.
How her constant tip-toeing around was always so random and appeared so involuntarily.
