A familiar darkness encompassed everything in sight.
A figure of shadow, broken only by the two human arms and the green top of his head, stood in the pitch blackness.
Izuku looked around. 'I'm... back here?'
The boy heard something approaching as he turned his head.
Stepping out of the darkness was the woman he had met before, Nana Shimura. However, she looked oddly meek and uncomfortable as she waved awkwardly.
"H-Hey, Midoriya!-"
Izuku silently waved back, feeling very uneasy as memories from before resurfaced.
"-I know this is sudden, but I think we needed to talk sooner rather than later, and I figured it was my responsibility to initiate since this is my fault.-"
She sighed, looking down.
"-I'm sorry for seeing you when you weren't decent and for making light of it with a dumb joke. It was very immature of me. My only excuse is that I've been stuck here for decades with nothing better to do than talk to a bunch of guys like Banjo, and I've gotten used to making jokes like those."
"AYE! Don't blame yo ass on me!-"
Izuku turned his head as the funky bald man strode forward, glaring at the woman.
'Wait... I just heard them both clearly!'
"-Cause I ain't gonna just stand here'n take dis when I ain't da one who saw dick!"
Izuku coloured with embarrassment as Nana put her hands on her hips.
"But it's fine when you've seen my breasts?"
Izuku stared agape. 'He what? Wait... So this is just a thing that happens here!?'
"You~! Son of'a... Dat be so not fair."
Banjo turned and pouted as the heroine looked back at Izuku and pulled out a small handheld whiteboard and a marker to go with it.
"I know I still owe you for what I put you through, so we'll try to coordinate a schedule with you so that this doesn't happen again. And since you can't really talk still, you can use these to communicate.-"
Izuku took the marker and the board with a raised eyebrow as she grinned back.
"-It's a good thing you've got both arms now. You've made a lot of progress in a short time."
Izuku started to write...
" 𝙄 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝒈𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝞣𝙚𝒎𝙥𝙚𝙨𝒕, 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙞𝒕 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝒕. -"
