Let me explain, (y/n). Dezuki had mentioned to you before that the reason you kept having those horrible visions and hallucinations was because he was able to be within a couple of meters of you. While I was in prison, he transferred every bit of suffering I endured to inflict on you, just so he'd have an excuse to see you before court. He used pinpoint to find where Shun lived and the hospital you stayed. But he had a physical body outside of prison— watching your every move while manifesting himself into a real being. He was able to transfer his consciousness into my body. Remember your psychiatrist? How similar her green hair and freckles were to mine? That was him in disguise playing an act with his illusion quirk.

The people that went rampant in your neighborhood and kidnapped Kendo? He purposely messed with those thugs and paid them to go after you. He made you and the others a target just so he could 'save you'. But that isn't the worst part. The copy that you've been seeing, that's my real physical body. Dezuki trapped me in his clone just long enough so it could manifest into a real body so by the time I was beaten and weak, he'd switch consciousness and I'd die. That's why you could hear his heartbeat or see him bleed. He was repressing my body from functioning normal to basically make me be a walking corpse.

The reason he hasn't been able to come after you is because he's working for the Hero Public Safety Commission for money. They are planning to instruct him to fight across Japan for more money and that will buy me time to find a way to have you free. (Y/n), I know it's a lot to ask but the night before my birthday, could I see you once more while Dezuki is away, alone? It's the only time we'll be able to talk freely before everything goes down and I can explain some things to you in more detail.

A familiar scent of shampoo filled Dezuki's nose as he weakly opened his eyes. There was soft humming, a song he recognized far too well. 'It's a small word', a song that he grown an attachment to but for different reasons. Above him was an outline of a girl, her (h/c) hair framing/showing her face perfectly and mismatched eyes staring back at him. (Y/n) gently smiled, caressing Dezuki's cheek and placing her other hand over his chest, directly over his heart. His heart started to race but he could feel tears falling in the corner of his eyes. (Y/n)'s thumb gently wiped his tears, tilting her head. Her smile didn't leave.

"What's wrong, my dear?" The girl questioned with a soothing, comforting voice. The boy merely shook his head, sniffling a bit before answering.

"Am I doing the right thing, baby? It feels like I screwed up everything." Dezuki asked, his voice slightly cracking as he let out a small sigh. He could feel pain settling throughout his entire body, feeling as if he moved, his flesh would just tear itself apart. He could see (y/n) softly nod, feeling the hand on his chest start to gently rub him to distract him from the pain.

"You did what you could. You locked your fate in place." (Y/n) responded. There was a brief moment of silence before she asked something.

"Why do you like that song, 'it's a small world'?" (Y/n) questioned. Dezuki coughed, feeling how worn out his vocal cords were from the hours of screaming and crying.

"I remember seeing Midoriya's memories and one of his favorites was hearing and singing that song with you. I was jealous. But overtime I learned that song is famous at a amusement park. It's a simple ride...but if I was normal, if I was human, I feel like it would be my favorite ride." The boy answered, swallowing a bit hard to ease his raspy voice. His lips started to quiver, followed by soft cries.

"I'm sorry..." He sighed, his breath hitching up with each sob.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry I took your old diary while you were in the hospital after you escaped. I never knew what your handwriting looked like and I wanted to know. I never gave it back. I'm sorry I took your favorite sweater and your family photos...I just wanted to feel closer to you." Dezuki kept apologizing, making (y/n) shake her head.
