Eevee

Time to herself

3rd person

About an hour after the last chapter, with 1-A.

Aizawa walks into the dorms and asks Iida to get everyone gathered, and he leans against the wall while he waits. After a while, everyone is gathered in the main room "Aizawa, we're all here, though Izuki is not for some reason" "Thank you Iida" "Aizawa, where's Zuki?" "I'm getting there," He sighs and a small frown tugs at his lips, "Izuki is going to be away from UA for the foreseeable future, she requested to take some time for herself, stating that everything that has happened until now including her nightmares have become too much and wants some time to sort stuff out for herself"

The whole class erupts into questions, but two were asked more than once "When will she be back? Is she okay?" "She herself is not sure when she'll be back, and if she's doing okay... I want to say she's fine, but I don't know" 'Palkin didn't say the whole story, but I'm not going to pry if the two of them don't want to share' "Hey, you're the closest with her Jackson, do you know when she'll be back? Or even more details than Aizawa?" "I do know more than Aizawa, but I'm not saying a word, and I don't know when she's planning on coming back"

Aizawa looks over the class, for more than one reason. The first being that he's kind of happy that the class care about each other so much, and the second... is to see if anyone seems off, whether they don't show as much concern, or even a little joy on their face, they would skyrocket on suspects for the traitor, but the only person that seems to not care is Bakugo, but he doesn't always get along with Izuki anyway.

With Izuki, a few days later.

Izuki flips to the next page of the homework pamphlet she asked Jack to get her, so she can stay on top of school while she's away, but ever since her fight with Wolfram, if she reads for too long her head starts hurting... a lot. "Ugh... why does this happen so often now? It's even starting with screens too" Espeon appears next to her "Me and the rest of your forms aren't having issues, so it's not anything major, perhaps you're starting to need glasses?" "Maybe... I'll text Iida, and ask if he has these issues at all" She takes out her phone and texts Iida.

'Hey, sorry if this comes at a bad time, but I've been having major headaches if I read for too long, and it's started to happened while watching TV as well. Is this a sign I need glasses?'

'It's not a bad time at all Izuki, and yes, reading glasses at the least'

'Alright, thank you'

'Of course, are you doing alright?'

'Yeah, not a whole lot better, but this is helping'

'Slow progress is better than none'

'That it is, bye Iida'

'Goodbye'

"Well, I'll talk with Jack when he stops by after school" "Anything new happen since you left? Namely hearing Ellie or having bad thoughts?" "Every now and then, but I've been trying to ignore them, but it's hard" She sets her head down, and closes her eyes "But... the nightmares have stopped for some reason, so that's good" "Yet you still only get 3 or 4 hours of sleep, if any, a night" "Yep... I'm going to rest my eyes, then continue on my homework, and don't do it for me and then share the memories of you learning it, that's cheating" Espeon chuckles "Alright, have a good nap Dear" "Thank you Esp" Izuki drifts off to sleep after saying that, and before leaving, Espeon gently moves her homework out from under her head and lightly pats her head "I hope that this time away gives you the time to change yourself for the better, but there's nothing wrong with how you are right now"

Izuki ended up asleep for the rest of the school day, and is waken up by Jack eventually. "Mmm... how long was I asleep?" "According to Esp, since right after lunch" Izuki sits up and rubs her eyes, and notices her homework is missing "It's over there, Esp moved it after you fell asleep" "Oh, okay" She stretches her arms and stands up "I don't know if Iida told you, but I think I need glasses" Izuki mumbled while lightly scratching her cheek.
