"Hey, Touya?"
"Hm?"
"What do you wanna be when you grow up?"
"...A big, strong hero!"
"Hehe"
"Hey, why're you laughing...?"
"Nothing... its just funny. I wanted to be like a hero too."
"Like a hero?"
"Yeah. Saving people... being nice."
"Is that all you really want to do?"
"Is there anything else?"
"Maybe"
"Then I'll also be suuuper big, like the one on TV!"
"I wanna be super strong like him, too"
"Right?!"
...
"Hey, Touya... What happened to your arms?"
"...Just my quirk."
"..."
"..."
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I have to go soon... my parents are gonna wake up."
"...Ok. Bye, Keigo."
"Hehe, bye."
....
"..."
"...Keigo?"
"...Touya... do you really think I can be like a hero?"
"Of course"
"...I missed you."
"Me too"
.....
"..."
"..."
"Your arms..."
"I'm ok."
"Really?"
"You have bruises too..."
"That's not important!"
"..."
"..."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"Hey, what do you think love is?"
"...That's sudden"
"Is it all bad and mean or is the TV show right when it shows all the heroes and stuff saving people, and then they're happy?"
"Love is supposed to be nice, I think."
"...Nice. Like... the heros?"
"...Yeah."
"Then why does nobody have love?"
"..."
"I don't know, Keigo"
......
"Do you think... Heros would be cool in real life?"
"What... do you mean?"
"Like, not only characters on TV"
"What do you mean? They are real."
"...Huh?"
"..."
"...oh... So... Endeavor is real?"
"... Yeah. He is."
"Then... He can save me?"
"...Yeah."
"..."
"I really hope so."
"...Me too, Keigo. Me too."
.......
"...Are you still going to be a hero, too?"
"I... hope so. Heros are cool, and save people. I want to save people."
"Yeah. You'll be a great hero."
"You too."
........
"...Touya... Why aren't you here yet? I have to leave soon..."
"..."
"Maybe you're sick..."
"I'll be back tomorrow, Touya..."
